Multiply that by possibly hundreds of snakes in some people’s cases. By the time you go down a rack of live feedings you can quickly check the first snakes offered in that rack and remove any rodents not consumed.

Oh wait, you're actually holding each and every rat with tongs and wiggling it in front of each and every snake until it strikes? Dang, I didn't know breeders do it one by one like that.

I imagine that would've taken me forever back when I had 4 snakes to feed. I can't imagine doing it with hundreds.

Well that makes perfect sense, then. And it totally explains the question I had about total time invested. I couldn't picture how cleaning, feeding, and maintaining a large population of rats would be less time than feeding f/t, but if you're actually holding each rat for each snake, one by one, the time thing makes so much more sense. Yeah, it would definitely take less time to breed rats than it would to do that.

Thank you! I was so confused about that, I couldn't picture it at all, but you explained it perfectly.
