I hate the idea of feeding live micerats. My to older snakes both take FT though the male has been off for a few months he is big though. My new female pied is just a little girl though.

Many breeders do go to great lengths when breeding to chose pairings based on health and longevity as well as other factors.
For these reasons as well as an improvement in husbandry practices over the last 10 years we have seen lifespans go from an average of 1½2 years up to an average of 22½ and even 3.
