Im in northern California, about an hour and a half from Sacramento. I have been looking online for rodents suppliers in the area, but no luck thus far. No luck locally, but I did the math with rodent pro and with shipping costs factored in, it would be about $3.50 a rat if I ordered 20. Not great, but snake's gotta eat.

Unfortunately, as long as I am living in an apartment, I just don't have the freezer space to stock up on larger quantities. In a few years, I would love to get a second, (third...fourth....) snake an get them their own freezer, but alas, I must currently dream small. I looked at feeder rodents at PetCo but the selection of sizes is unreliable and I have no idea what they have been fed, so I would rather pay more for quality rodents than save a little on something potentially less nutritious to my snake.
