Let me start off, I have two 3-4 ft ball pythons and I wanted to breed rats for fun and have feeder so I bought 3 females at one pet store and bought a male at another store. Well after a 4-5 weeks I seen no sign of them getting pregnant. So I seen a person on craigslist that had rats for sale and went and bought 5 more adult females (planning on getting another male) at a dollar a piece I couldn't resist. The lady said they may be pregnant. Well a couple day after getting them, last night to be exact, one of the 5 new ones had a litter of 10 without any warning and while I was feeding them this morning another one of the 5 is huge. Then one of the 3 original females is starting to get a belly on her, lol. I think I"m on my way to have a good supply of rats.

Here is the first litter born, and hopefully not the last. lol
