Thinking of Switching to Live

I'm currently breeding and freezing my rats for my 20 snake collection. My current rat colony is only 2.12 which does pretty well when freezing at my convevience. I'm seriously wanting to switch to live rats for the convenience of feeding the snakes. While easier on the side of the rat breeding the task of unthawing and feeding is starting to get a little daunting. If possible I would like to switch to live, but I don't know if it would be worth it if I really had to increase the time I spent on the rat breeding. Can anyone tell me roughly how large of a rat colony I would have to have to feed 20 ball pythons live rats?
