They seem more docile and look after their young better too.
Not 100% sure of the name either, but krakenbush was how I recalled it.
they do not like the hot weather all right, mine havent bred for 3 months. |

Breeding your own mice and rates seems like a much better idea, considering we want to feed up alot of our snakes...getting expensive.
