Frozen feeder mice

[Dragonbeards]

My mom is going to let me get a corn snake very possibly (as my 18th birthday gift). Very awesome, I already have a tank set up (was going to be for a garg, but is also perfect for a corn), and it will give me some hands on snake experience before I start breeding red sided garters.

Anyways, I was looking for places to buy online, and I was shocked at the prices. The bags of mice themselves aren't bad, but shipping is way too much. I don't make much allowance, and I don't know anyone who owns a snake near me (or anyone at all for that matter).

Where would be a good spot to buy mice for one corn? Washington members, do you guys know of any stores that sell frozen feeders?

I'm not sure about any stores but if there is a reptile show coming to your area they might have frozen mice for sale. That happens at the Nebr. and Iowa shows. It's a little more than online but a whole lot less than a pet shop.

I'll second the Local Herp show recommendation. Mouse prices at the Taylor MI show were around half that of the reptile stores and less than a quarter of the price of the big-box pet stores in my area.

Yeah, there's actually one today and tomorrow, unfortunately, I can't make it. Not sure when another is coming around.

Join the local herp club, sometimes they arrange group buys where more than one person shares the shipping charges.

Good idea, Wayne.
I love brainstorming a problem

That works. I'll have to find one around here, and see if they work with my college scedule, but I really like that idea. Not opposed to getting together with other reptile weirdies such as I

Gargoyle gecko most likely.

Yeah. Gargoyle gecko. I was gonna get one, but a snake is just so much cooler, when I already have cresties.
