Today I attempted to switch my corn and carpet python over to rats. They have both been eating 2 jumbo mice a week the past month or 2. I had heard that it may be hard to switch, so I decided to go to the local pet store and buy 2 small frozen rats instead of buying bulk. I was lucky and both took the rats without hesitation.

I was excited about how easy it was and told all of my friends about it when we went out tonight, but believe it or not nobody cared, so I figured I would share it here--lol.

So I guess at the Indy show next week I can pick up a batch or 2 of rats along with whatever I decide to put in my empty 10 gal.
