If you don't have an enclosure, head to Lowes and pick up a Hefty 100-qt tub, it'll be plenty big and has four latches to hold the lid on so he can't take an unauthorized slither-about. Add a heat pad + thermostat and he shouldn't have any more shedding issues.

I would convert to live rats before converting to f/t just because one small/med rat per month is a lot cheaper than 5 jumbo mice.

Good suggestions, have a Lowes right across the street from my job, 20 Bucks for a Tub no problem there, I have several heat mats and a couple thermostats also.

I've never fed live yet, also not much of an issue, just would prefer to feed F/T.
