Good snake for pinkies

Hey guys, I've got a small bit of a problem. We found a high school 'friend' here that was willing to split with us on frozen feeders. And so I gave him the order I wanted, coming out to about a hundred rats in various sizes.
Well, not sure if he put the order in wrong, or if the site got the order wrong. But now I'm basically stuck with a whole bunch of pinkie mice I don't want to feed to the pythons. As long as they're eating rats, I'd like to keep it that way so I don't get any fussy feeders. I've tried just selling the bag, but no bites. Even for much lower then I bought it for. So...I don't really want it to just goto waste.

So my question is...what's a good type of snake that will chow down on pinkies for a while? So, something that stays small I suppose. Although, I'm sure we can double up on the meals if need be of course.

Is there something that I could end up putting on the same rack with the pythons after quarantine as well? That has the same temperature care? It's not a huge deal though. I have two different strips of Ultratherm on the rack that I'll be using, so not a problem if temps are different. Just wanted to see if there was something that could make it easier later.

I may be wrong, but I think hognose have very similar requirements as far as heat goes as bp's. And If you get a male, he'll be eating pinkies for a long time.

Try the western hognose. They like it around 91 or so for a hotspot.

A baby amazon tree boa would probably stay on pinks for awhile. I love them and want one haha!

Good thing you have the internet to help you learn about anything you'd like to know.

They actually move to fuzzies pretty quickly! But they stay on those for quite a while :)

+1 hoggy you wont have one for long though :P

Kenyan sand boas are cool, and it would be eating pinkies for a while. Mine do fine with a 91 degree hot spot and are both very friendly. Males don't get much bigger than 100 grams but females can get up to 1000 grams in rare cases :)

Wow. The males really are small. o.o
How long do they generally stay on pinkies before moving on up? I know it's different for every snake, but in general.

Although, same can be asked of the hognose if anyone knows.

Mine just moved to asf fuzzies, and they're about a year old. They seem pretty small for their age though...
