How Much Do You Spend Monthly to Feed Your Snakes?

How much do you spend on feeders monthly? I'm just curious to know because it always varies on where you buy yours at, the sizes, and how many snakes you own. I think it costs around $80 a month for me to keep all of my snakes fed weekly.

$100 +

My weekly is usually around $80 - $90 so that puts me in the $350-$400 a month range.

I actually just started a colony of Rats about 3 weeks ago because I figured out what I was spending...

I'm around $60-80 a month. I was breeding mice for about 8 month, but the saving wasn't really worth it. The smell and cost of supply didn't really offset savings. Plus, I only have about 3 mice feeders where everything thing else is on FT Rats.

I have 16 snakes now (wow!), and estimate it costs around $90-100... I pay approx $1.50 per adult mouse & $2.00+ per rat, but also have some frozen prey I bought in bulk. Not bad compared to my cats and dog! :gj:

We spend around 80-100 at this point with only 5 snakes. That is not counting our beardie...little high mait. man....lol.

We are discussing as more snakes come in to start a colony....but egads...not sure if I can handle the smell. The money might be worth not having to deal with that. We also thought about doing it in our garage...but it would draw the rattlers....same with crickets...we thought about putting those in our garage...but that would probably draw the scorpions. :rolleyes:
I heard that ASF's our quite nippy so not sure if we want to go that way either. So for now....we will just spend the cash.

over 100 a month on rat food mazuri 6f 50lb bags.

I breed my own rats and sell the excess for feed and shavings. So right now I actually make a little money but not much.

$-35

I provide ASFs to a local breeder, and a couple enthusiasts. Breeding my own feeders was the best investment I made.

Let's see 3 bags of rat food a week at 25.00 = 75.00 2 bail's of pine at 5.00 So that's roughly 340.00 a month. GOD that sucks and that's fixing to almost double.. can I cry now..

I have nine snakes, $3 dollars a month to feed the 'colony' of 4 rats that have made all their food for the past two years. Best $50 investment I made!

Mothers isolated once I notice pregnancy and throughout the time they have their litter get constant access to food, the colony tub gets restricted access.
8 out of 9 snakes are currently eating weanlings or smaller, so I rarely have to provide additonal food to grow baby rats up to size.
