Yeah there is no reason to feed them in their enclosures. The balls will always fit and have room to eat in a 41 qt tub. When the burm is fully grown we will likely feed her in the bathtub. She just ate her first small rat last evening. it was a little on the big side for her, but she handled it like a champ. I don't like going over their diameter on feeding , but this rat was a hair bigger. I won't go over 1.5x their diameter under any circumstances.
Here is the small rack I built. It will hold 12 qt, 28 qt, and 41 qt containers. I've got it all set up with their heat tape now in the house. I need to get a new pic.
Had a couple new pics. Cinnamon is our newest addition. We also have a new pastel female named Peach, but I don't have any pics of her yet. Charlotte (spider female) and Tula (fire female) Tula (fire female) and Charlotte (spider female) Cinnamon (cinnamon male) Cinnamon (cinnamon male)

Reggie. Male pastel pinstripe AKA lemon blast. Jasmine. Female black pastel het for albino. Here they are together.
Bring 'em. I can always eat. I'm like a bottomless pit. When I was a young grown-up, living in Arizona, going to motor-sickle school, I made friends with a guy from Kansas named Tom Combs. He always loved coming to Oklahoma for the rattlesnake roundups. He was like a kid in a candy store in Phoenix. He'd bring two, three, four home every time he went out. Sometimes he'd let one go in our tiny apartment. It was all fun and games until one got itself cornered in a closet. Used to freak me out. I'd just stay up on the couch with my little single shot 12 gauge. Anyway, they are tasty. When you gonna come over and use the mill for some neato stuff? You can make your own RDIAS, right?
