My mom is going to let me get a corn snake very possibly (as my 18th birthday gift). Very awesome, I already have a tank set up (was going to be for a garg, but is also perfect for a corn), and it will give me some hands on snake experience before I start breeding red sided garters.
Anyways, I was looking for places to buy online, and I was shocked at the prices. The bags of mice themselves aren't bad, but shipping is way too much. I don't make much allowance, and I don't know anyone who owns a snake near me (or anyone at all for that matter).
Where would be a good spot to buy mice for one corn? Washington members, do you guys know of any stores that sell frozen feeders?

Re: Frozen feeder mice
I'm not sure about any stores but if there is a reptile show coming to your area they might have frozen mice for sale. That happens at the Nebr. and Iowa shows. It's a little more than online but a whole lot less than a pet shop.

They are not just snakes. They're garter snakes.

Re: Frozen feeder mice
I'll second the Local Herp show recommendation. Mouse prices at the Taylor MI show were around half that of the reptile stores and less than a quarter of the price of the big-box pet stores in my area.

Re: Frozen feeder mice
Yeah, there's actually one today and tomorrow, unfortunately, I can't make it. Not sure when another is coming around.

Re: Frozen feeder mice
Join the local herp club, sometimes they arrange group buys where more than one person shares the shipping charges.

Re: Frozen feeder mice
That works. I'll have to find one around here, and see if they work with my college scedule, but I really like that idea. Not opposed to getting together with other reptile weirdies such as I Originally Posted by infernalis

Re: Frozen feeder mice
Yeah. Gargoyle gecko. I was gonna get one, but a snake is just so much cooler, when I already have cresties.
