Hello everyone. I just bought my first ball python on Suday. I am considering breeding mice/rats for feeders. he was hatched on 8/5/05 so he isnt very big. Would an adult mouse be too big for him to eat? I want to breed mice because they are smaller and it would seem to be easier to breed them instead of rats. would 1.2 mice be too much for one ball to eat? I've kept guinea pigs for years and feel that raising mice in some rubbermaid tubs shouldn't be too difficult. I just dont know what to feed him while i wait for babies? Your help and advice is greatly appreciated.

Edit: I do realize i should give him some time before trying to feed him. I want to get on a sunday evening feeding schedule. I figure a week in his 10G aquarium is adequate time for him to get comfortable.
