as they stay so small compared to rats, an adult ball python will have to eat a half dozen of these nasty tempered guys to get the same meal weight as a medium to large rat. Even though the litters are bigger, seems to me they won't go around as much as a rat litter.
I can see their value as a prey item for those finicky wild caught or extremely picky captive bred ball pythons, but other than that, is there any other value other than variety?
Not that I think these cute little guys are a waste of time and effort to breed and feed to snakes, just curious as to what all the benefits are to the cons. I certainly have always felt a variety of prey items is good, though giving ball python's nature, mixing and changing prey types can set them fasting...but i wonder if sometimes they just get bored of the same thing week in and week out... ----- PHLdyPayne
