hey Duchess.
Welcome to RTB.net!
what everyone else has said before is great. but also make sure that you tell your niece and her boyfriend that for the snake's wellbeing to kill the rat first. a live rat introduced to a snake can strike out like lightning and before you know it your snake's neck is broken or at the very least he'll have a very nasty bite. if they feel squeemish about killing the rat they can order frozen rats from either pet stores or online companies (which are better quality than a pet store's ratsicles) and then thaw the rat out prior to feeding. or just let the rat bite them then they'll have a reason for whacking it [img]modules/Forum/images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img] .
