    To make things worse my $250 mini freezer broke a year ago and the $100+ worth of contents went bad and there was some leaking on the carpet. I was really good about feeding him on time when I had a bulk supply in my house but Ive been getting worse now that I have to go to petco and dont have the option of storing anything in the kitchen freezer if he doesnt eat. I dont think I can invest in the previous setup again since the wife is still traumatized by the idea of rat juice in the carpet.

    Ive been thinking for the past 6 months about finding him a better home vs trying to optimize/automate my current setup (switching from high maintenance 45 gal glass tank to a tub which I assume is much easier?) Im still not sure how to improve the feeding system though. Any suggestions or perspective?
    Find a home for him. You don't sound interested in keeping him. Even with a low maintenance/automated setup like a tub, you have to feed him and you're feeding situation sounds less than what it should be.

    Nothing wrong with giving him to a good home if you decide to. Like Marrissa said in the post above, it could make some kid who really wants a snake very happy.
