I have so much to learn on this subject. Yeah I wasn't necessarily trying to keep a long running supply in with my snakes, was thinking more like a group in a seperate room and then releasing like 5k in the snake room once a month or quite feasibly just when I get to the point my colony is big enough that releasing them wouldn't be disasterous to the overall number that I could keep.

Also are they a mite that say I left in the corner of the room that they would venture out and away from the colony and find other mites to eat.
