Is it worth it?

[unrezt]

for one snake, i dont think its worth breeding feeders yourself. I would think that you can prolly find an online place to buy frozen that would be cheaper then breeding and feeding a whole bunch of mice....just my 2cents

I don't know about the costs of feeding mice up to adult size, but if you have a smaller ball python the cost is next to nothing apart housing your two new pet rats. Frozen mice at my local pet store cost about $20 for a dozen. Our rat just had her first litter(flock? lol) of pups(and a HUGE one at that, 12 pups!) and they were large enough for food after a week and a half, and they feed off of the mother in that time.
