Here's the scenario, I have 20 adult colubrids that eat rat pups. I feed about 30 pups a week. I have 2 yearlings that eat 4 pinks a week. And I have a Burmese python that eats jumbo rats/retired breeders. I have a total of 46 rats set up in groups of 1.3 with some younger females that are still growing. 10 males in all. What's the best way to set these guys up to produce the numbers I need? I was thinking of running them in sets of 3 harems breeding at a time so that as one set has it's litters the next will be a week away. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
