| | | | They are about 2 years old. Either of them wont eat rats but they love their mice. So they have been eating 6 each. The girl is a bit funny with her eating habbits though. She will tend to eat only 2 today, then 2 in 2 days time, than another 2 in a few more days time.
The female is really placid and great to handle. The male is a little flighty but I have only just got him, so ill slowly work on his temperament. |

| | | | Great Idea Helikaon, Ill definately try that. Can only be worth a shot. I dont mind so much at the moment, as the mice supply is quite large but the rat supply is decreasing rapidly with my male bredli and black head. |

ahh yes that is the problem these days, isnt it. i am lucky enough to breed my own rats and mice. i have a colony of about 20 breeding females and have about half of them on bubs so about 100 bubs all up so if you only have a few snakes you might find it worth it to breed a small colony.
cheers
