Multiple snakes

[Daigga]

Of course it is all with circumstance. Someone in my position do not have the option of bulk food or bedding. I do used uprinted news paper which I get from my local newspaper people but it costs me about $10 a month for a small roll. But because I do not have the option of bulk bedding and if I wanted to use bedding like aspen or cypress, it would cost me $10-$30 to fill one tub. Having 13 ball pythons, it adds up. My boa and corn snake are given bedding. Two 24q fills my corn snakes cage and 4 24q lightly fills my boa's. In Alberta, there is no such thing as live rats so I have to breed my own ASF rats which is cheaper then buying them one by one, but if I had to buy one by one, $10 for an adult ASF once a week for a single snake... well I am sure you can do the math. Not everyone has the same options. And either way you look at it, one snake is still more expensive then one... which was the whole point of my earlier comment.

I don't think you're shopping right. Also, sweet lord how much bedding do you think it takes to fill a tub? I've bought a 20 dollar bag of compressed aspen shavings at a reptile expo and it lasted me a good 3 months with between 3 and 6 snakes and would have been longer except I switched to paper towels, which is still only about 6 to 10 dollars a month for 11 snakes at this point (depending on poo frequency). Ordering bulk frozen rodents online is also cheaper, since small rats will run about 2 or 3 dollars per (plus 30 dollars for shipping, but eh). Part of owning lots of snakes is shopping efficiently.
