We spend around 80-100 at this point with only 5 snakes. That is not counting our beardie...little high mait. man....lol.
We are discussing as more snakes come in to start a colony....but egads...not sure if I can handle the smell. The money might be worth not having to deal with that. We also thought about doing it in our garage...but it would draw the rattlers....same with crickets...we thought about putting those in our garage...but that would probably draw the scorpions.
I heard that ASF's our quite nippy so not sure if we want to go that way either. So for now....we will just spend the cash.
