If they will take F/T then breeding rats and freezing them when they hit weight is a great option as you can let them grow bigger as your snakes grow.
I have 5 snakes. The largest being around 1800g and the smallest around 300g. I'm not too worried about figuring out exactly how many mice I'll need now, b/c if I come up short, I can supplement from the store until I get the numbers right. F/t isn't really an option for me for now... I just don't have the freezer space, and won't for a while. I'm also not too huge a fan of working with the F/t.

The litter box idea came from a breeders website. I figure it can't hurt to try it.... Once I get everything set up I'll see about trying it or not.

I'm planning on keeping the mice in by the litter boxes for my cats (it's an open, out of the way area) so hopefully they won't stink too bad, or if they do, it will just be the corner that already stinks sometimes b/c of the litter boxes
