I'm not sure what the rat breeder was talking about. Maybe they were referring to if you're going to be feeding the rats themselves prior to feeding them to your BP? Of course a well fed rat is going to be better for your BP than one that has not been fed well. Beyond that, ball pythons do perfectly well eating rats for their entire lifetime without being concerned about a nutrition deficiency - there's no need to supplement with calcium or anything else.
