If you only got A couple of snakes its not worth breeding IMO Just a heap of work and they will cost you more than if you where just to buy them IMO

Not exactly Lewy. One of my mates has 2 breeding tubs.. with a 3:1 ratio of rats. He is feeding One coastal. and has 100+ mulitple sized rats in the freezer Plus the ones in growing tubs. he Sells them on sites Like these. and makes a slight buck. which is about to fund his New Coastal .

hey
we breed rodents all the time but 2f 1m should be plenty our rule of thumb is one female rat can feed one snake but stock up and always have the next size food up coz it could be 3-9weeks to have the size you wont
