Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

feeder rats, extras?
I have a group that I am growing out for breeding 3.2
(Best male gets breeding rights, other males get eaten.)
This seems like a great starting point, as I only have one ball python at the moment, unfortunately I have not had any success getting the ball python on F/K or F/T.
I'll be over ran by rats in no time at all, as euthanizing them is not practical at this point of time, and wholesaling the excess may prove to be tricky as the closest shop around is an hour away.
I know that there's always Craigslist, and Facebook groups to try and sell off any excess, which will be preferred, but let's face it even that isn't guaranteed.
I wasn't planning on getting any more snakes until after tax returns come back, but even then it'd be colubrids after I do a lot of research.

I am assuming your wondering what to do with extra rats? Well, freeze them until your able to use them, the shelf life of frozen rats is pretty high. And if your still getting too much, then lower your breeding to a single 1.1 pair.

I was told that the shelf life was a year?
How do I package them, for long term storage?

Vacuum-seal and freeze for long-term storage.

I would guess so. I don't keep them around that long. If you get too many you could sell off the excess locally.
