C and S Reptiles and Feeders and FeederSource?

[artgecko]

Hello everyone!

I'm attending my first show at the end of the month (Repticon Atlanta) and will hopefully be coming home with my first snake, some geckos, and some frozen feeders for said snake. Feecersource and C and S are both listed as vendors (the only feed vendors I see) and I was wondering if anyone had done business with them before? I have checked out the BOI and can't find any info on either. Feedersource seems to have slightly better prices, but I've never bought frozen feeders before, so I can't say if they are fairly priced.

If you guys have any insight on either of these or if you know of another vendor I should check out, please let me know.

Thank you for your time and help!

Hi,
We stocked up on mice & rats from Feeder Source at the last show. Overall, great experience. The guy was super nice and shaved off a couple bucks for us There's still a few in my freezer now, they haven't gotten burned or anything. But I repackage all mine in sandwich bags after I take them home, so that may have something to do with it. But they all seemed to be in good condition, relatively fresh from what I can tell.

I was at Repticon Houston today and made a purchase from Feeder Source, and I honestly found their prices to be higher than I wanted to pay. They can charge more because they have a contract with Repticon to be at every show. And since they're the ONLY rodent vendors there they can charge whatever they like. I know I didn't expect 5$ a piece for medium rats.

Whoa. Maybe I got mischarged lol. I think I payed like $35 for 25 small rats and 30ish for 25 mouse hoppers.

Sorry mods for originally putting this in the wrong forum. Didn't even see the inquiries forum here.

Both dealers have prices on their website (not sure if they will honor these at the show or not). I'll list some of the sizes I may need below (not sure what size snake I will be gettng yet). Are these fair market prices, similar to what people pay at shows, etc.?

Feedersource
mice sm. pinkies 50pk $27.50
pinkies 50pk $30
Fuzzy 50pk $40
Hopper 50pk $45

C and S
mice pinkies 50pk $37
Fuzzy 50 pk $37
Hopper 50pk $37

Thanks again everyone for your input!
