    A lot of the things you're talking about replacing can be found cheaply on the Internet, so you can avoid the pressure to buy whatever your local pet store stocks. Unless you're feeding f/t, how do you intend to breed rats to feed only two snakes? Rat litters grow much faster than the snakes that eat them. I would love to have a few more rats, but there's no way to justify breeding rats when I've only got a single snake. Two snakes wouldn't make much of a dent in that assessment unless you're planning to feed a bunch of pinkies to individual snakes at any given time. Right now, paying retail for an appropriately sized prey item is much cheaper than breeding rats to feed my snake. Rats aren't as expensive to set up as snakes, but they do have specific husbandry requirements, and it's much easier/cheaper for me to just buy one every 5-7 days (or, in my case, as many as I can store without risking freezer burn, since I feed f/t) when I have no way to handle the "extras".

    well i was just thinking of not like breeding all the time just like once and let them grow cuz i need them to grow and get a lil bigger so it will take a while before i can even feed them to my snakes but idk if i do i might just get a few more snakes too lol

    No trying to be rude or nothing at all. But it seems you need to educate yourself a little more about snakes before you just breed them.

    Loose skin sounds like dehydration to me. Is this a wild caught adult that you bought?
