The rats require much more time and effort than the snakes do. With that said, I breed my own rats, have a colony of about 20 and wouldn't have it any other way. I control what the rats are eating so I know my snakes are getting the most nutritious meal they can possibly have.
Plus I enjoy the genetics of rats, its fun to see what pops up in each litter!!
Good Luck with your colony!!
I agree! Lots of work but also fun and nutritious!
