Yikes. I would still order online. Layne Labs is great, but there are others. Yes, there's shipping involved, but the cost per rodent is far less. And when you're feeding several snakes, that is definitely important to consider.
even with prey 1 1/2 times the circumference of my balls by the time they consume it and constrict it it doesn't leave a noticeable lump I generally go with rats that are slightly larger than the snake and only once every 2-3 weeks why not weekly if you dont mind my asking
