Generally a record of 3 clean fecals means you have a healthy animal so that is going to range from $45-$105 for a local vet or about $69-$126 to ship them out.

I have no idea what meds would cost.

OR you could get a vet to do a autopsy on the mice to see if they have parasites. I hear that's expensive too.
I want your vet. or better yet this vet... fecals here cost anywhere from 150-200 APIECE.... and they're done on sight...

Now I stopped at this post, so don't ring me okay? I wouldn't do it. You knows a chefs worst nightmare? Not salmonella..... not e. Coli.... Botulism... snakes have salmonella in there body already, but why chance other parasites that mice and even eats can carry? What your snake eats is up to you, don't ring me... I know a retic Owner that use to breed cats and even dogs to feed his retic. Do I agree? No. Absolutely not. But it is all up to you! Whatever you choose. Best of luck to you!
