As far as I know one the best candidate for CB feeder snakes is Garter Snakes.



You have to deal with the downsides of a fairly aquatic snake but they are easy to care for, breed, and there are lots of food options for them(fish, rodents, amphibians, or fresh/frozen man made food). Most of them breed two to four times a year from what I remember and they are live bearers with decent sized clutches. I believe they have a decent growth rate although they do normally cap out in the 3-4 foot range I believe.



Still a fairly expensive option compared to rodents but possibly cheaper then the other alternatives. Besides you can do morphs projects with your feeders lol. If you are interested in the homemade garter snake food recipes then let me know and I'll send you the info or link.
