I have a five foot corn snake and a baby ball python and eventually am going to have more. my corn eats two currently but can easy eat three large mice. my baby ball has been eating a small every five days and am now going to feed it two small every week. So i decided it would be more cost effective and fun and interesting to breed my own feeders. Today was the end of my first week and have one for sure prego and one im almost positive. anyway i decided to do one male and two females. those are my only breeders. i set up three tubs 12x16x6 with lids that i drilled holes in, each one obviously had bedding, water bottle, food and dish, and toilet pape roll. i put all three mice in one container. now that my mice are prego i have seperated them. each mom has her own cage and a hide to nest under. the male is left in his own. after the pups are weaned the moms will return with the male, and the males and females will be split up into the cages. as i accumulate more mice i will purchase grow containers to further raise them. i decided to only do 1.2 because i live in an apt and do not want to get overwhelmed.
