I buy all of mine from Rodent Pro, but I do have 30+ snakes currently. Do you know any other snake hobbyist in the area? Maybe you could split shipping. You can also buy in bulk. I have also bought a few f/t from local pet stores, but they do cost quite a bit more from Rodent Pro. Buying from shows is nice, because you do not have to pay for shipping. However, I believe the rodent dealers raise their prices for shows, which makes sense. Good luck either way.
