When to Start Breeding
I have one small snow corn snake at the moment. In a few months, I will be getting a 32qt rack system and get myself another snake, possibly a corn. The rack houses 4 snakes. When would be a good time to start breeding mice for corn snakes?

Re: When to Start Breeding
I'd hold off until you get your second snake. You didn't mention how soon you thought you'd be getting a third or fourth snake. Usually it's not worth breeding rodents until you have at least 3 snakes, but I suppose you could get started if you get a second one with plans on getting more.
Also, will you be feeding live or F/T? If feeding F/T, you can always freeze the surplus for when you get more snakes.

Re: When to Start Breeding
I plan on getting my second snake as soon as I can get the rack, which will be in a few months. I do have plans to get more snakes, so the rack will be perfect as it holds 4 snakes. (Question, can full-grown corns be kept in a 32qt rack?)
I will be feeding f/t so yes, I can always freeze the surplus offspring. A few more questions.
What size mice do full grown corns eat? And if more than one at one feeding, how many?
How many males and females should I get to start off this breeding colony once I start breeding for my snakes?
This is the 32qt rack I'll be getting for my snakes. Ok for corns?

Most corn breeders keep them in 27 qt. tubs with success so my answer would be yes to the size question. What size mice is your corn eating now?

Too many boas to list and a few balls as well

i am still holding off on breeding, i have 4 snakes, and 2 female rats, but i won't breed them untill i really need to. and i just ordered about 120$ worth of rats online, so, i have a feeling i won't be needing to for a looong time. lol.

Re: When to Start Breeding
I also just placed a frozen rat order 2 weeks ago for about $100 in frozen rats but I am breeding rats just to have some extra pinks and pups. I will give some to a friend of mine who has 3 small snakes and I will be trading some off once I start getting more but for now, in the freezer they go (after the CO2 chamber).
