Fancy Mice?

30??!! 30??!! Really THIR-TY babies??!!! HOLY CRAP!!!! That's a lot!!! One interesting note, when I worked at PETCO,(for 7+ years) I had two BP customers who asked for the fancy mice. I could never figure it out becasue the fancy mice(ridiculous as it sounds)were a DOLLAR more. Both customers told me their BP would only eat colored mice. Weird, huh?

I just counted 26 in a new litter.. I have heard that as well.. mine dont care. white.. fancy.. its a mouse.

yep.. my snakes dont care either. I accidently bred some fancy mice (had bought a female as a pet for my son and thought I had bought an other young female to keep the original one company ). ended up with three litters, with each litter getting consecutively larger in number. the last litter had about 22 babies.. but the snakes ate them just as nicely as the albinos I buy.

i think when Royal pythons were more likely to be imported they tended to go for darker mice cos they appear more natural as white mice or other prey items are not that common in the wild! I feed fancy mice but my albino swiss webster mice do produce huge litters!!
