..um, well I was starting my research on the internet. More specifically the "Blood Pythons" section of www.Ball-Pythons.net
Woodchucks, eh? Never thought of that, but I ain't got the time for groundhog hunting/trapping/or any other form of obtaining them for free-even if I did, I'd probably rather not feed wild animals to my pets-who knows what they've gotten into. Especially around here on the dirty ol' beach lol.
Thank you for the suggestion, though....
I'll probably stick to getting rats from a local breeder. Thanks to all who have given me useful information, keep it coming.
