Granted it is cheaper to buy them at the pet store, flea market etc... What you won't get by breeding your own is intestinal parasites. 99% of what you get is infested with coccidia which in turn is transferred to your snake. I currently breed my own rats for this reason. Honestly it's a pain in the ass, but the benefits outweigh the work. My rats were quarintined and treated for intestinal parasites and eat a high quality diet. The result is a high quality feed for my snakes. I started doing this because the rats I was getting locally were emaciated, covered in mites and had pinworms. -----
