What do you do with your retired breeders?

I have a really enormous female who can take most of them, but every once in a while there are some big bucks too huge even for her. At the moment, I am freezing them...probably give to someone in the local herp club. lol

I breed BCIs so I have no problems getting rid of any rats. There isn't a regular rat (not one of those giant pouched mongos) that my female boas can't eat.

Thanks for the responses everybody!

I honestly wouldnt get a boa JUST because you want to get rid of your retired breeders......

It isn't "just" to get rid of breeder rats, as I thought I had indicated in the sentence below. I've actually been wanting to expand my collection in terms of the number of species I have for quite some time. Some of the bigger species I am considering are RTBs, carpet pythons, blood pythons, woma and/or black headed pythons, and beauty snakes. Not to mention several smaller species and several lizard species. If I could ever decide on just one, I'd probably have it already!

I know I could probably get rid of them on craigslist, but I've been interested in expanding the number of species I have anyway, so this sounds like a good excuse to get something bigger.

Sell them, give them away if they are nice, c02 tank and freeze for a rainy day.

My retic is gonna soon out grow my retired breeder rats. He does say thank you for retiring the big girls though. Except for the fact that he bit my chin yesterday. But the best idea I've heard is put them to sleep and freeze them. All of my big breeder bp's eat them too.
