Rats are healthier for your snake. Thicker bone density means higher amount of calcium delivered per meal. And if you can make the switch to rats now it will be easier to continue feeding rats and not end up with a mouser. Good luck
Thats what the guy at the reptile store told me so I'm going to go with it. Any thoughts on the coloring of the snake? Mocha?
