    How much do you spend for your snakes every year?

    How many snakes do you have and how much do you spend every year.

    Lol, I wish I honestly new the answer to that question. I don't really keep track of things like that. I currently have 15 snakes and 6 geckos, so I'm guessing somewhere in the ball park of a lot.

    Edit: When I say a lot I'm incuding how much I spent on the snakes. To maintain my collection, it isn't much. I spent around $250 and got a 4 month supply of rodents for that many snakes.

    Last year I spent about $20,000 on snakes, rats, caging and supplies. It'll probably be a little less than that this year but not by much.

    Re: How much do you spend for your snakes every year?

    I don't really keep track of that either, but I know I spend around $60 a month on rodents for 5 snakes of different sizes. And that actually keeps me for over a month since I get the small/medium rats for my bp in a six pack from my local pet store. So even if you want to say $60 per month, that's only $720 a year. And the electricity for their heat pads is negligible really.

    I only have one snake, but after the setup costs (tank, uth, thermostat, etc), I only really have to pay for food (about $2-3 every 5 days). Not much at all. What gets me is when I keep buying things at the store when I just go in to browse. I just find it so difficult to walk out without anything. New water bowl here, more foliage there,,,
