For a a single small size rat. I get 150g meduims for $3 from my usual guy, is was mind blowing. Easy thing to overlook if you only have one or two snakes, but more than that, I'd go broke trying to pay those prices!
Yeah, after tax i end up paying about $5.50 per small rat, but with just one boa eating them (my other is on mice) an order of 25 from a supplier would would take about 2 years to go through, and thats without factoring in the likely possibility of the snake needing to size up to mediums before getting through them - but those are moot points since my wife will have murdered me well before then for keeping 25 rats in the freezer.
