Rats vs Mice

A 50g rat will tend to be less fatty than a 50g mouse, though one advantage of adult mice (vs baby rats) is they have a more oddities skeleton and developed internal organs. If your snake will need to beon rats at some point then I dont see any particular reason to wait to switch.

thanks,
repticon is here in a couple weeks so I'm going to wait until then to stock up on rats and mice. already have mice and was just making sure it wasn't essential to go out and buy rats before then.
