That would involve me spending either alot of $$ to buy them, or kill them myself and freeze them off, such a hassle for 20+ snakes.
I myself prefer live way more than f/t.

Re: what do you feed your ball pythons?
I feed f/t ASFs. Rats are too expensive for me, since there are no breeders around here, mice are too small, and a pet store near me had some ASFs so I bought a preggo one on an impulse.
I've been thinking about switching to rats, because these ASFs are sort of evil if they have a litter in the tank. They latch onto me if near, and recently one of my breeder females had her face half chewed off by her two female cagemates. Arg. Frustrating.
I would switch to a rack system, but mine are chewers and would escape within minutes. Maybe I'll just cover the sides of the tank with something dark so they feel safer?
Just 0.1 normal BP, 1.0 mojave, 0.1 California King, 0.1 Saharan sand boa, ~20 hermit crabs, a Patriot crab, 5.0 rats, and a herd of mice and ASFs

I beg to differ .....I believe frozen are a lot cheaper than live ...atleast for me they are.. live rats are 4 dollars around me ..I just bought a bag of 25 rats frozen at the show for 30 bucks that's a savings of 70 bucks
