    Re: Finding local rat breeder?

    Glad you found someone! It took me a few years to find anyone that could keep up with my demand (about 50 snakes). I found a few since then. One through an ad on Fauna to someone local, another through a reptile show, and it turns out that he also supplies the local pet stores, and then a third through a referral from another breeder in my area.

    Before that, I begged my local pet store to tell me who he got his feeders from (because I would buy him out and still need more) and he refused to tell me. I finally met his supplier at a pet store. It was sort of mean, but sweet to mention to him that I'd met his supplier the previous weekend! LOL

    Besides which, that pet store owner refused to cut me any breaks on volume purchases, even though he was already marking them up well over 100% of what he paid for them (I know his wholesale pricing now).

    I do breed my own (that same pet store owner tried to talk me out of that too! LOL) and use local suppliers to supplement my production when I don't produce enough to feed my crew.
