    Snake People in Fl
    Where do you guys get your snake food from? Do you buy them from shows or what? Reason I ask is Im thinking of getting into breeding snake food but dont want to do it if I dont have anyone to sell it to. Do you think any of you might be interested?

    There is a place down in Broward county called South Florida Rodents (southfloridarodents.com) that I will start buying from soon.

    I've been buying from the local reptile store, but prices are getting outrageous.

    I'm in Miami, so the 30 minute drive north for feeders isn't that bad.

    gourmat rodent in newberry fl sells f/t real cheap but you have to buy 50 dollars worth at a time but that saves lots of trips to get mice/rats

    there isn't much help in the bay area either. i have begun raising asf. i was tired of dealing with petco. check with mike cavanaugh, like judd said. i did not get mine from him, but he's been very helpful with my questions anyway.

    good luck

    FYI You can talk about your future business in general however no sales talk outside the for sale forum.

    I get my feeders from Jesse Jeffcoat in Sarasota - he offers clean, healthy & fat live or frozen mice and rats in whatever size and number you specify - great guy! Great prices - and no shipping fees. He brings what you need over the Skyway every week. Herpers in the Tampa Bay area - let me know if you want his email or more info. I'm very happy I found out about this guy - he gets two thumbs up from me! :gj: :gj:

    Does anyone know of some good feeders near the Tampa campus of USF? The only place I know of to get feeders around here is the small pet shop up at the mall, but the prices aren't great and they don't always have what I'm looking for. Just today I went up there to pick up a couple feeders and he won't have any in til next week. I'm trying to get my snake into a pattern with feeding and it's difficult if they're not available.

    Please get back to me on this!

    There used to be a large scale rodent supplier in St. Augustine. He sold any size mouse for $0.25 and I think any amount over 1000 was $0.19-0.20 each. I brought 1000 mice back a few years ago while on my way back from Daytona.
