I have been buying a package of two small rats at petsmart and feeding bi weekly. The boa gets both at once and the ball python gets one on one night and another in about a week or so. The rats are usually about 3" not including tail.
The packages are $13.00+tax and at 1 a week i feel like I'm spending a small fortune for some dinky little rats. Neither of my snakes seem to like the smell of them either.
I found a supplier of feeder rats nearby but he doesnt kill/freeze. If I'm going to have to deal with live I feel like I may as well breed them myself.
Thanks again for the helpful tips!
