How much does it cost to feed your snake every week?

[Chris89]

I get the "Pisces" rodents from the pet shop, as I don't have anywhere else to get them from at the moment, and yes they're over priced - but a snake has got to eat.

I've tryed finidng someone around the Brisbane/Area who sells bulk rodents etc, but haven't had much luck.

I tried ours with day old chicks last week. They seemed to take longer to digest and the snakes didn't want their mid week snack as usual. We now have a broody chook sitting on 11 eggs. Our Bredlis didn't hesitate to take the chicks but Calliope took a while finding which end to start on!!

I was talking to the guys from Animal Attraction this morning about how they ship frozen mice/rats Australia wide, may be worth you contacting them:

Oh and they breed a lot of there own mice/rats.

1500 day old chicks cost about $40 to buy and then about that again to run the freezer a year - do so about $80 inc for 15 pythons a year
