Yep we didn't start breeding rats till we had 5 or 6 snakes to feed weekly and since we had everything from quite young BP's to a 6 foot BCI it worked out really well. Even with my colony running I had to go out today and trade a bunch of over-sized feeders to a local pet store for smaller ones as I've got really little, kinda little, and...GREAT BIG lazy butt feeder rats that I can't use since the big BCI went to his forever home last month.

I usually breed my female rats in pairs and time the pairs so I've got one duo ready to pop while another are just preggie and another set are heading into the male's cage for some "quality rat time".
