Where To Purchase?

Rat Snakes can be purchased at any reputable online retailer or at your local reptile retail location.

Feeder Sizing

Rat Snakes can generally eat 1 - 1.5x  the widest part of there body. However if your feeding 1.5x it's girth it's recommended that you make your feedings less frequent.  Be careful of what you feed your snake as certain rodents can have green belly, mites and other diseases if they weren't properly raised & euthanized before packaging.  

Available Premium Feeders:
We offer premium zoo quality veterinarian raised feeders such as Rats & Mice here in Canada but there are many other reputable suppliers if your located outside of the country.

Feeding Frozen Vs Feeding Live

Feeding a Rat Snake live rodents can be dangerous and is not recommended.  Captive bred snakes specifically don't gain the instincts that they normally do in the wild and are much more susceptible to injury. If you leave live rodents in an enclosure with a snake that isn't hungry it may even get eaten by the rodents themselves.  Live rodents also carry potentially dangerous diseases and pathogens that frozen rodents are much less likely too.  Lower temperatures help kill and prevent growth of disease which is why it's not only recommended to use frozen for your snakes health but also for your own.
