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.
