    Refusals of f/t rats from my ball pythons are why I got into boas; they will clean up what the ball pythons don't. If the ball pythons do happen to all eat then I just thaw more rats for the boas.

    Another question
    the 25pk and 50pk
    of frozen thawed fuzy, for a person with just 1 snake, would that 25pk roughly last about 25 weeks? and 50pk roughly 50 weeks?
    for 1 python?

    Baby ball pythons don't stay on rat fuzzies for very long. By 25 weeks old they're often eating weaned rats.

    You really do need to find a local private rat breeder if you have just one snake.

    If you’re feeding that one snake once a week then your calculations are correct. As previously mentioned they won’t stay on those smaller prey sizes for long so you may end up feeding multiples or you’ll have leftovers which can be a good excuse/reason to buy more snakes 😀.

    :D 1 snake for now, I rent i do not own a house, so i am limited on my space....

    Yes i know these snakes grow and with that, there food size changes, but its nice to have an idea of how many weeks a bag will last, plus if they miss a meal,

    Does this place have a Classified section? or Buy Sell Trade?
