expenses
I currently own 5 ball pythons a BCI and I plan on adding 2 more BPs to my collection.
Usualy I spend about $15 at the local pet store on mice and rats every weekend.
I wanted to see how much people here spend on feeders and how many snakes they have.

Re: expenses
I just have the one snake and feed once a week so it costs me less than 3 dollars a week for the one small rat

I usually spend between $25-$35 a week on feeders for 6 Storr's monitors, 1 Veiled Chameleon, 2 Childrens Pythons, and 2 Ball pythons.

Re: expenses
depends where you get them from. is there some one around you that breeds rats and mice? if so i would get a bulk order maybe 2 weeks worth or find someone else in the area that has snakes and put in an order that is worth the breeders time to get the order together and meet you...they sell at a greatly reduced price from what petstores do because you get it straight from the source
if you cant afford to take care of it, dont get it

Re: expenses
I buy 120-150 mice every 3-4 weeks, and also have a 1.10(could me more, LoL) group for producing hoppers for hatchlings. I spent $68 last time on 120 mice(live) and it lasted 3.5-4 weeks for my 25+ snakes. I buy rabbits every so often, and they are between $5-10 apiece for 2.5lbers for the boa.
Bedding for the rodents is free(the school where I keep all of the rodents has a deal through the feed store), rodent block is $22 for 50lbs.

You ARE a herper if you pay more for snake food for a week than you do yourself, and you don't know how many snakes your feeding!!
