    Questions about the industry...

    Questions about the industry...

    1. How much do you spend on your reptile per week or per month (all inclusive, food, bedding, toys, food, vet care, etc)?

    2. Do you own a reptile AND a dog?

    Re: Questions about the industry...

    1. We buy rat feeders from local reptile shops weekly, 2-3 a week (determined by available size needed to feed the girls), which usually cost 2-3 dollars each, so at the most, $3/per rat x 3 rats x 4 weeks in a month = $36.

    This month we also bought a replacement CHE ($40) and another bag of shaved aspen ($8) but those are not regular supply purchases.

    2. No dogs, but we have 2 cats.
    0.1 ball python (Cleo), 0.1 surinam bcc (Carmen)
    1.0 sunglow motley corn (Jenson), 1.0 albino burmese (Lourdes)
    1.0 cat (Nicky), some mooses and ratters, 1.0 hubby (Rick)
