I do not think that Brad breeds his own rats for food. Besides, if you are going to be in Chapel Hill you aren't going to want to drive all the way to Raleigh every week to pick up snake food (you probably won't have time to do so either, speaking from experience). Your best bet is probably either going to be to switch to frozen thawed and order them from a site like Rodent Pro or buy them in bulk at the reptile shows. That, or find a decent pet store in Chapel Hill that stocks feeders. We buy our rats from the nicest pet store I have ever been to, but it is Raleigh, and I would estimate it to be a good 45 minute one way drive from Chapel Hill.
