As for "colors" - I've heard that depends on the snake! Some will only eat white rodents, while other don't seem to care about color at all. I don't think it would hurt to feed a mix of colored and white rats, but wouldn't go out of my way to select food based on color (unless your snake shows a preference). Anyways, just my $0.02!


Neat! Bioactive enclosures aren't common around here, so it will be interesting to see what yours looks like and how it works when it's finished!
Thanks for the tip .

I LOVE bioactive setups as it makes for easy cleaning, and keeps it smelling fresh- nothing better than never having to scoop poo . Will most likely be a few months until it's done as time is limited but I'll post some photos when it's completed. Planning to use foam insulation to make some ledges and caves, along with an underground burrow and some live plants.
Can't wait until this guy settles in and can come out to explore. He's still quite skittish.
