When the cost of raising them is cheaper than the cost to buy them..

+1
When my feeding bill went over $100 a month, I knew it was time to try and start breeding them.

Re: Best snake collection size to breed Rats?
I would breed right from the gate personally. You can always freeze them at the size that you need them. Knowing what they eat and that they aren't f'd up in some way makes it worth while for me personally.

Re: Best snake collection size to breed Rats?
It all depends on where you're buying your rats. If you're buying them from a pet store, it's definitely better to raise your own at any size collection. I even supply a local pet store here every once in a while when I have surplus. If you have a small collection, f/t will most likely be cheaper. I know with just my ~50 snakes though, that I would have a hard time being able to afford only buying f/t if I didn't produce my own.

For me it'll be never, unless I move.
I live in, what I am told is, the largest rat free land mass excluding antarctica. It is illegal to bring a rat within my province! Soooo, people can only buy them frozen shipped from elsewhere. Guess this poll is not directed at me eh?

Really?? Where in Canada do you live? I thought that they pretty much already inhabited everywhere where they can survive, save a few select remote islands.

Re: Best snake collection size to breed Rats?
Of course, my sister has only one ball python and she is breeding for her own feeders. She sells extras to a local pet store. It probably only costs her about $10 a month to care for her breeders and she plans on getting more snakes and breeding, so she's building up her rat production now.
