Many BP breeders also breed rats in the same rooms as the BPs with no trouble, just make sure you wash your hands after handling any rats or other furry animals or you may get bit reaching in.don't keep the snakes food items near it at all
This is just completely wrong. You should just be making sure your BP is defecating from time to time. Each BP's metabolism is different but about once of month you should see some.don't feed the snake until after it defecates from the last meal
Fed you BP either mice or rats. Size wise make sure that the girth of the prey item is about as thick or slightly thicker than your BP's thickest part of its body every 1-2 weeks. Your BP will not overeat, BP's will stop eating if they are not hungry.only feed it one mouse every 3 or 4 weeks
The size of enclosure makes no difference in how fast they grow. The snakes metabolism and how much you feed it is how fast they will grow.don't give the snake a bigger enclosure because it will grow too fast
