I picked up a small female bumblebee yesterday and while I am not new to the hobby, I am new to ball pythons.My biggest question is if she is going to stay the same color through adulthood because no matter how long I searched, I could not find adult pics of yellow bumblebees. They were all brown. This brings me to my limited knowledge that some morphs with "freckling" (not sure of the proper term) tend to get dirtier as they grow. I think I read this in regards to champagnes in particular. Now, my girl looks pretty clean right now but she does have some "freckling" and I was told by the BP guy at the shop she's about 2-3 months old. I was also told that BPs won't take rats until they're close to a year old. I was planning on ordering 6 months of frozen feeders in advance and was really hoping to get rats but now I'm not sure what to do. I'm not sure if she's ever been offered one or if, because of that, they have only ever given her mice.
Any and all advice is appreciated as well as maybe a link or excerpt for "proper" feeder thawing!
