Do you not like feeding live? My local small pet shop sells me mice I think for $1.59, so that's definitely my first stop.

Some people have a lot of snakes in their collection, and do not have the time to go around and supervise every single snake to ensure that they do not get injured. Some people just don't like to feed live regardless. Also, why mice? Rats are a lot better.

Where at in Pennsylvania are you located? I get mine from a breeder in chambersburg and they are good quality and a good price.

What would you consider too many. I have too many to deal with thawing out 60+ rats and hope they get eaten so that there is not a life wasted in the trash.

I feed about that same amount, stagger feeding days and have 'garbage disposals' (king, corn and boas) for anything not taken, which is quite rare, maybe I'm lucky. no waste plus no risk of injury.

Re: Petco Frozen Feeders?
If you do have a store that gives you live for pretty cheap maybe you should look into fresh kill using your own Co2 tank. For $50 dollars I got into an exchange program for a 20lb Co2 tank (lasts forever). When empty i just pay $20 and trade it for a full one. Never have to recertify as all the tanks i exchange it with are already certified. Get your live rat, Co2 it, and feed it fresh. Works for me. I breed my own rats so this is how i do it but if you buy live you can do it this way too. My fiance will not allow rats anywhere there is people food lol so frozen is pretty much out unless I get another freezer. Also with this method if the snake refuses you can always freeze the rat and try again next time. I have never had to do this as i have never had a rejection out of my 18 snakes. Just lucky i guess (knock on wood).
The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing.
