About $85 a month on rat food and $60 for bedding keeps 70 BPs fed. Racks were probably close to $2K to build all together, but that has more than paid for itself after 1.5 years.

I spend about $100-$120, 3 or 4 times a year and i have 7 snakes.
Thats roughly $33-$40 a month. Thats me overestimating a wee bit too. So in actuality its probably closer to $30 a month.

Last time we went to the reptile show, we bought about $150 worth of rats and mice. It seemed like everyone was either going to a bigger size of food or they were running out of food. We also had to buy a bag of pinky rats (unexpectly) for the baby normal female balls that we got because the fuzzie rats we had looked too big for them. After a month of being with us, the girls are growing like weeds and can almost take the fuzzies. *sighs*

I buy in bulk about every 3-4 months and this time factoring shipping it worked out to about $1 a rat. So I would say ~40 a week since I have one that will only eat live.

Re: How much do you spend on food?
I breed my own. I get the bedding at Farm and Fleet, 8 cu ft cost me $4.95 and I get Mazuri at a local dealer that runs just over $20 a 50lb bag.
