it's nice to be able to buy in bulk like this (shout out to my freezer!), and now that everyone is getting bigger it makes ordering easier. i also like to keep smaller sizes handy in case of a picky eater or maybe a pickup. [emoji6]
in case you can't tell: i get excited about little things, like a box of frozen rats coming. lol.
Re: it's that time of year for me
Yeah I just ordered feeders for my new snakes and will have to order again in a few months for the larger critters. I usually order 2x a year and spend a total of about $700 a year for my 11 snakes.

i usually get rats shipped in bulk once a year and pick up at NARBC march/october if and when i need.
ive done the math before...i don't think i spend more than $300/year on food for everyone.

I've thought of that before too!! I can't imagine there's much street value for a box of frozen mice and rats!!
Re: it's that time of year for me
It's so much easier to buy in bulk, I've got 5 people at work with snakes so easier for me to order for everyone and dish them out accordingly when the arrive at the end of the day,they in liquid nitrogen blocks so stay really frozen, I always get them delivered to work so easy to distribute to my Freinds , just have to warn the goods in guys that I'm getting a delivery, not too bad as one of the goods in guys has two large corns so some are normally for him anyway.
I have a freezer dedicated to them in the shed, so we get an order every few months ,this way some of the younger snakes can get there upgrade with out having a freezer with loads to small prey that won't fill them

all you ppl with snake-loving friends are so lucky hahaha.
Re: it's that time of year for me
My freezer is stuffed with large rabbits and rats and pinky rats and fuzzies. But i'm COMPLETELY out of small rats, low on mediums, and low on adult mice (although I might get rat pups this time, same size more expensive... more healthy maybe?). It's hard for me to spend the few hundred dollars every few months lol
Re: it's that time of year for me
It's like... You want a bp... You read a stupid article about "beginner easy cheap snake".... "using only heat mat for 20 dollars" ... "You'll be okay with 20g long all life"...
And then you fall in love and start researching. And you find all those scary things like 200 dollars for food and you're like Why the hell do I not just keep the hamster or so... :D:D
