I have a small freezer in the snake room that just holds my bulk frozen feeders.

I have kept them my regular freezer before, but it got to the point that we had no food in the regular freezer. Just rodents and the odd frozen pasta dinner. (Lots of containers where ICE CREAM has been blacked out and RATS put in its place.

I also had a few frozen snakes in there, and retired breeder rats, old pets, etc. (they were waiting to head out to the country to be buried in my mother in law`s garden).

At some point I was told...

1) No more dead animals in the freezer
2) No more dead animals on the counter
3) Nothing dead past THAT (snake room) door unless it comes out of there in a garbage bag and stays in that bag.

So yeah. The freezer is now just for human food. Having a freezer just for snakes has been great. I traded one pastel male last season for feeders and it filled the freezer up the first week I had it.
