I've contemplated ordering online but it seems like the shipping costs would outweigh it for me since I only have one snake. My Arctic Mouse from Petsmart last night did have its tail break off on the tongs when I went to feed, but I figured I just squeezed to tight. My preference would be rats. We have a local chain called Petsway and I will be seeing if they have rats this Sunday for the next feeding.

Here'a question....assuming you do buy bulk and they come vacuum sealed, etc.....what happens when you break the seal? Do they get freezer burnt and less appetizing? For the one snake I like the idea of getting singles in their little "boil-in-bag" pouch, LOL.
