Where to get frozen rodents?
Hi! So I got my first bp on the 4th at a reptile show and I decided it would be best to get rodents there too and get more at the next show in two months. Unfortunately we got there a bit late and all the rodent vendors were cleaned out of the size my bp was eating previously so I got a smaller size and figured I could just feed him multiple at a time, and fortunately it's been working so far but I'm not going to have enough for two months. So I'm wondering what would be the cheapest or easiest way to buy them? I don't think I want to get them at a pet store because of how expensive they are but I will if I have to

I use perfect prey and am very happy with the quality of prey, the packaging, the customer service and the prices.
Shipping can get pricey, especially for only one snake, but will probably still be worth it.
I was thinking about that but I'm not sure how many to buy? Since he's still a baby I'm not sure what sizes he'll need once he grows a bit more
It's times like these I really wish I had friends with snakes so we could order together and split the shipping haha

Where are you located? I know some other members who have been able to split orders. Maybe somebody near you might be in the same boat?
I know you can buy smaller bags too, I believe 10 packs. But, the savings start to dwindle with smaller packs.
Thats just one more reason to get another snake!!:D

Ah, ok. Be thankful you're allowed one. That's super cool of your family. My old man was afraid of snakes, so no snakes for me til I was 20 or 21 and out of the house.
He's come around a bit though, he doesn't run like a scared toddler when he sees my snakes. (I literally saw him run from a garter years ago. The little guy couldn't have been more than 16" long! Hahaha).

Oh I am :) My dad's like that, too, absolutely terrified. But he's been surprisingly interested in my new guy and I got him to come to the show with me, so I'm hoping it won't be that hard to convert him lol!

But back to the question, do you know if there's any good ways to find good local breeders?

Locally, I don't really know.
You could try Craigslist. If you're on Facebook you could try that.
