    I'm guessing not, since you mentioned you can't buy 100 rats online and store them just for one snake, you weren't able to lol ..

    I only have one snake as well, and even if I did have the room, I wouldn't need 100.
    The snake will probably be up to eating one or two size bigger rats by the time I'm even able to finish the 100 rats haha.
    Everywhere I looked online, even if they offered smaller quantities, the shipping was the same, so it wasn't worth it. I just get frozen rodents from a local pet shop, but they have a small selection and their rats start at 50gm. You do what you gotta do. I made the decision to feed mice til 300gm, you made the decision to just get yours on rats and get it over with. Both perfectly viable options.

    Sounds like your guy is doing great. Really with BP, as long as they eat, who really cares what you have to do to get them to. Haha. "Zombie dance" with feeding tongs or just tossing the limp rat in the tank. As long as the rat ends up inside the snake, the feeding is successful.
