My main breeding pair and any current babies I keep in a huge 3 level CritterNation cage. At 5-7 weeks, I keep maybe 3 to raise up to the size that Khaa eats (right between a small and a medium) and sell the rest. Those that I raise up to size stay in a tank setup.
Feeding live saves a ton of time. All you do is put rat in there, wait for strike (mine never takes more than than minute, any longer than that and hes not hungry and I remove rat), make sure rat isn't able to hurt snake while its coiled and you're done.
And don't let people talk down to you/discourage you about feeding live/raising feeders unless they've never consciously eaten a piece of meat![]()
