Be careful leaving live rats as bate. What happens if the rat hurts the snake unsupervised?

Great point.

I will use pinkies for the traps. As for the 4 smalls...he has no access to them at anytime. They are simply for scent...bail if you will.

I meant FT, I think a live rat will eat his way through or be smart enough to get out

I was thinking small pinkies so Im not tossing F/T rats in the trash daily...but after my last post I realized I dont want to starve pinkies to death either. I'll use F/T for the traps.

The smalls Im using as bait in the clear plastic (vented) enclosured are gobbling up parrot food and hard boiled egg yolks during the days so come night time the just lay there...stinking like rats in the middle of the floured foil. (but the snake cannot accuatlly come in contact with those.

All: Crawl space question - I have that crawl space with the cement floor so cold it is rather uncomfortable on my feet. I have gone on the assumtion that the cement is so cold he would not actually be able to move over it. (like ice on naked skin for us) So we didnt pull eveything out of there. Am I wrong on the temp assumtion?
