    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

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