Ditto on going to a reptile show. You'll find some smokin deals, and get to speak personally with many breeders. Plus they're super fun, and I'd bet your daughter would get a kick out of it.

With regards to f/t, I had to deal with someone that was vehemently opposed to keeping frozen rodents. Now she helps me with the rat breeding and euthanasia I just keep all mine in brown paper bags labeled 'rats'. Meat is meat, right? What's the difference between frozen cow and frozen rat? Discrimination is bad

Or if the wife's really stubborn, dish out the cash for a mini freezer lol.
