    Frozen feeders

    Today im doing my "test" to see if my ball pythons will take frozen rodents, and if they do i'll be placing my order for frozen rat pups today

    ive been looking at some websites and they have crazy shipping costs (at least i think theyre crazy idk if thats normal, like 20$ and the rats costs 25$) do you know a good website with better shipping costs? If thats a normal shipping price then i will just buy them from there. Thank you

    $20 shipping is a good price. I assume $25-35. Remember that you're paying (in my experience with Big Cheese and Perfect Prey) for an insulated container, dry ice, and 1-2 day delivery.

    In my case it is only cheaper than local if I get a small freezer full at a time. It may seem like a high cost for shipping but it is really quite fair.

    Are there any reptile expos in your area? That's a great place to buy feeders. The prices are low without the shipping costs

    Sadly no, but there is a website that says you can pick up the order at a local farm (im in south florida) so i e-mailed them asking where the pick up would be, if its too far then im just gonna pay shipping

    I pay roughly $30 flat rate shipping with Perfect Prey and Big Cheese which is very reasonable. You just have to order enough feeders to make it worth it. I usually order about 6 months worth of feeders for my 8 snakes at a time.
