Thinking about breeding

[erebus45]

Ok I have one ball python atm but here shortly I am getting another my local pet store 2 blocks from my house and the only pet store around within reasonable driving distance is going to Shut down within the next 2017 year I want to start breeding rats yes I could just stock up on f/t but he ate frozen one time and has refused ever since iv tried everything iv read every forum and nothing has worked so I'm stuck on feeding live so I figured why not breed my own iv got the space iv got the money and iv got the skill to build my own rack so why not.... Now my question(s) are since I will only have 2 snakes how many tubs do I need how many males and how many females and what kind of rat should I get I would love regular white lab rats but I know their are different kinds I also would appreciate input on bedding, food, and tube size any help is very very appreciated.... Thank you in advance

If you are only keeping two snakes. One male and two females will over run you with babies. Which will grow to fast for your snakes. So you will need to do something with the extras. If your second snake will eat ft you can freeze the extras.
