I breed 1 female to 1 male at a time and want to try to keep pups around at least for the next year. I have 3 females and 2 males all in seperate cages. Only 1 of my females is giving pups so far , her first litter 3.5 weeka ago was only 4 pups. I've tried my females with each male and only had this 1 litter. Any help anyone can give me will be taken and tried. I'm breeding for my snakes , pet store rats here are 9.00 for fuzzies and 10.95 for small , live or frozen , so I'm trying to save a little money.
