Kirby was my first ball, so I didn't know any better concerning what to feed her. I do now, so I'm hoping to see some improvements in her growth (or is 135 normal for a snake almost 9 months old?). If I were to make a bulk purchase online, would adult mice be best so that I could go with one food source for both smaller snakes (saving money and simplifying things where I can, I suppose), or should I just go for the different size rats? Also a rough estimate of how long I could expect them to eat on that size of prey would be appreciated so I can have a better idea of how many to buy. I mentioned that I'm looking to expand, so extra doesn't hurt, but that doesn't mean my husband is thrilled about the idea of me packing the freezer full of dead rats.

i take my victories where I can get them. Expanding his comfort zone is coming slowly but surely.
