so, my dumerils hasn't been hungry for 2-3 months and i've had the rat in a birdcage on my floor the entire time and he's pretty calm and domesticated. my friend used to have a rtb that died and he had a rat for it that he ended up keeping as a pet and that was a WHIIILE ago. he told me if i wanted, he would take the rat thats at my house, and i could get a female and breed some rat pups. i'm thinking that way i could bring her to his house to get impregnated then bring her home to have babies and i could do that whenever i need more rats. also it would be good to switch my ball python to rat pups instead of mice so he will be ready to eat rats later on when he's bigger.
to make it clear, he would have 2 males at his house, and i would have a female at mine.
my questions are, would it be worth it to house a female and breed some pups whenever i need them for a BP and a big dum?
and how long does it take them to get big enough to be a good meal for a 5-6 foot dumerils?
if anyone has opinions on this, lmk.
