    Re: Where to get mice?

    1.59 is a lot of money when you have 5 snakes who eat pinkies, one of which can down 4 of them in 1 sitting. It's also a lot if you look at people who sell them locally for under 50 cents each. The boxes of frozen mice I get are 6-7 for 3 and I usually have to buy up to 10 boxes a month.
    To me, breeding mice is just as bad. They stink like a garbage pit no matter how clean you try to keep them. I had a couple mice and they were stinky things. I couldn't stand them.

    yeah they are smelly little creatures, but i keep up on them so it doesn't get bad. my savannah monitor goes through three or four hoppers or full sized ones a week. haha. that's the main reason i started breeding!

    Re: Where to get mice?

    Breeding mice may be cheaper, but the family wouldn't have it. And I don't know if I'd be able to freeze newborns myself... and I only have a normal freezer, not a CO2 chamber ect. I can just imagine the talks lol.

    My post got flagged on craigs too, and I don't have any contacts with snake people around nor know how to find any.

    I think I'll have to go with the $42.24 for 100 small pinkies, or 43 cents a mouse. At the very least this order should last about a year so I'll just think about the price spreading out lol.
