    Looking for resources on the Florida Gulfcoast (Feeders, Herp clubs?)

    Just what it says on the tin! I'm trying to find some resources, preferably near the Bradenton area. I'm mainly looking for someplace to purchase individually packaged frozen rats...well, rat pups, at the moment (mice are getting a little small for my young bp.) I don't mind ordering online but was curious if I could get them anyplace more local and wondered if anyone had a recommendation.

    Also I would love to know if there are any herp clubs in the area, and if anyone can recommend a reptile vet who is experienced with ball pythons in particular...just in case.

    Thank you!

    It might be a little too far north for you, but the Gourmet Rodent is located in Jonesville, FL (10 miles W of Gainesville).

    Not sure about clubs, but there should be something in Tampa or St. Pete.

    Hey, that's the brand I've been buying in the local pet store! Thanks for the link - I see they DO have more sizes than the pet store stocks, so maybe I can have them ordered in. I might have trouble getting them delivered straight to my apartment.

    Just looked em up...I know right where that shopping center is, had no idea there was a pet store there! Looks promising, I'll have to swing by. Thanks!
