I put the tub link for reference but I actually got mine at Walmart
Update*
I found personally that 12.5 LPM at 5 minutes is the sweet spot for me, also I don't use the cup or the extension I just let the gas come out
Great video, most of the others we have watched on this subject do not do near as well of a job explaining the process.
Thank you I really appreciate the positive feedback!!
@@KeeperCain116 The supplies from the description arrived today. We successfully built and used it an hour ago. We were curious if you read the CO2 regulator to the bottom, center, or top of the ball? We read it at the center, but since we are using a smaller tub than you we noticed where we read the ball could potentially be the difference in being above the 30%-40% range that is suggested. Obviously it worked, just want to make sure we don't cause any undue suffering. Thanks again for the very helpful video!
Oh wow that is awesome you're the first person to reach out and tell me they went through with making it, that's a really good point I never thought about the spot on the ball I always measure from the center of it however I had said in the video that it come up to 9.6 LPM for me but after playing around with it 12.5 LPM for 5 minutes is what I currently use for my container, it's not a fun process figuring it out I personally don't enjoy euthanizing but to be honest you'll get a feel for it just by watching their reactions after doing it a handful of times that's how I come up with my measurements after using the math equation as a starting point
@@KeeperCain116 Ok that makes us feel better about how we read it then. We only did one rat this first time to test how effective it was and it started breathing hard for a couple minutes before going to sleep so we'll try a little lower for the next one. It definitely is not enjoyable to euthanize, but now that we have done it it is clearly less painful/stressful for the rat than feeding live. We appreciate you helping us out and we look forward to watching more of your content!
I'm glad I found this vid. I too just got rats to feed to my daughter's snake we've had for a few years now, and in the future I plan more snakes. I've been struggling with how to set something like this up as I found myself in your boat where I've enjoyed having the rats around.. I never thought I'd be a rat person but here we are. So I thank you for this vid and walking through everything.
I'm super grateful that we can be a help to the community that has been so much of a help to us!! Don't hesitate to reach out if you need and tips!!
@KeeperCain116 will do thank you! It'll be a bit before I have to attempt this myself. When we got the breeder rats we had picked up a few months supply of frozens.
But I was over here thinking why people didn't use that very tub you picked up.. other then needing larger bins I'd assume it was the best you could use.
My biggest struggle is going ro be that first batch. Ive turned the rats we have now more into pets then not.. >.< but at least I'll reason that they lived the beat life they could. . (I have so few that they aren't in racks even.. but again one snake and controlled breeding. But this allows me to have a freedom to get more snakes in the future if I wanted without paying crazy shipping prices or having to make a 8 hour drive to a friend who breeds ballpythons for a hobby).
Yeah it's definitely not an enjoyable process that's for sure, as far as the Big run some people make them out of smaller ones but I use the bigger one because I have to do larger batches at a time, but I have thought about making a second smaller tub for small batches
You did a great job explaining this out thoroughly brother. Awesome video 👍🏼
Thank you buddy!! I do wish I would have got some more close-ups in but overall I'm definitely happy with how it turned out 😁
Thank you so much for the video! Ive been looking for hours and hours not knowing what this was called or what to search up or I couldn't find any informative videos until this one i came across! Thank you so soooo much! I have been so scared to feed my ball pythons larger rats and now with this system i will most definitely be 100% less worried about euthanizing the rodents beforehand. ! Great job! 👍🏼👌🏼🎉😊
Thank you! I'm glad it was able to help somebody that makes it all worth it!!
