Bet you don't see this too often...

Thanks all for the input & best wishes! I have already considered the different feeding options, though, and what I do works best for me & my snakes... I've been keeping snakes for 4 years, and have tried just about every combination in that time.

As for why I don't breed my own, there is simply no room in my current place. I live in a one-bedroom apartment with a 47lb dog, 3 cats, and 28 snakes - so there's literally nowhere to fit an entire rodent rack, at least not without making the place smell like a zoo (not to mention keeping them safe from nosy cats/dog).

I do have one cage of rats who live in the bathroom, but they haven't been producing anything lately... probably a combination of them getting old and the room being cold, so I'll have to start fresh if I want more baby rats. Wish I did have the space, but as anyone familiar with this area knows, it's very difficult for a single person to afford more than one bedroom!

Anyway, thanks again for the input, and I'll keep you updated.
