Rodent bill
I'm curious to know how much others pay each month in rodents. I presently have 33 balls and get all my rodents from a local breeder. I have several balls I'm feeding heavily which makes my bill higher yet feel I get rats a decent price. I'm looking at spending upwards of $185 in October to feed my snakes. This is accounting for each snake feeding every meal. This won't happen but I've been doubling up the agressive feeders in prep of breeding by giving them meals not taken by by other balls.

I breed ASF's and just started a Hooded Colony. I have 15/16 snakes and it costs about $30-$40 a month to feed everyone. I buy my frozen rats from a local breeder.. Hopefully I can cut that cost once my Hoodeds start to breed.

it cost's about 500.00 a month to feed and keep our colony in bedding but with 100+ snakes and rats being 3.00 + dollars each it is cheaper and more reliable. I know the quality of feeder I get to offer.

I have 50 snakes, and the food bill has been less than $2000 per year, but I haven't done the math on it yet this year.
About $576 per year is spent just on bedding for the rodent colony. The rest of that figure goes to food, and frozen rodents.

I'm up to 24 BP's and my monthly rodent bill is about $110-120 a month. I buy from a local mousery. I'm looking to buy a house so I can breed my own someday.

I have 22 snakes. 13 adults/sub adults the rest are young. I spend about 80.00 a month on rats. I breed my own ASF's for the young and small ones. I want to get a building so I can breed some rats. I can not handle the smell of them in the house.
