I don't agree with that. If the only other option for F/T around you is the petstore. 7 bucks for a medium rat (too big until your snake is full grown) is pretty nuts. Or buying their mice and feeding multiples is more expensive. When you order online you just have to buy in bulk to the point where what you saved on the rats price wise is worth it still with the shipping cost (I think I spent $35 from layne labs on shipping). I bought 8 months of rats for my first ball python. Now that he's moved onto small rats the 25 weaned rats he didn't get to will be eaten by my girls as they get larger. My only difficulty with ordering online was trying to guess how long they'd be eating a certain size for.

I say if you have the freezer space go for it! I have roomies so I ended up getting a mini freezer to avoid getting lynched. But if you're only going to be buying about 25, it's not worth it. The solution is to get more snakes and stock up on rats.
