I have 4 ball pythons at the moment but I was considering breeding rats for them rather than buying f/t like I have been. I've read through a lot of the posts here about breeding, but most of them seem to be for large scale breeding with a lot more rats. I have a small apartment with no extra rooms for rats (my snake racks are in my walk-in closet) so I don't want to have a large number and risk a smell. Would 1 male and 1 female be okay to start out? I'll probably get another female once my first gets pregnant so I can swap them out and keep the pregnant ones in their own tubs, but I don't think I should get any more than maybe 3 females once I get a rotation going. What do you think?
