Trust me Shannon, I have whacked my fair share of rodents on a solid surface, But the truth is simple math...

The pet store pays me enough to buy 3 frozen rodents to each live one I bring in.

So the end result is more snake food for the dollar

hahaha, I totally get what you're saying there!

Oh my, that Dekayi is sooo tiny.
I hope all goes well with him!

Got really lucky today, overnight the temperature outside rose to 50 degrees, and then it rained all day..

So I got to collect some slugs.. in December that's rare. The little one ate 2 small slugs and a tiny chunk cut off a night-crawler.

His 5 siblings all take chunks of night-crawler fine.

Good luck with the baby Wayne. The mice are adorable... I'm convinced it's got to be less expensive to raise mice than guppies! Dropped $15 yesterday at Walmart and another $20 at Petsmart today for Purdy Boy & The Little Mommas... sigh... I'm afraid to add up what I've actually got into them!

Yeah, I can relate to that!

When I look at my yet to be finished reptile room, the money I have spent so far, the money I need to spend$$$$$$$$

Then factor in that I just dropped a hundred bucks to get my web sites back online....

OUCH!

Some day I may actually sell as many animals as I produce nad see a "break even" return on all this.

Fat chance of that happening Wayne.
I just am getting started in this Thamnophis sirtalis thing and the only thing stopping me is room.

Since it's still raining here, has been since last night. Do you think if I looked outside, there might be slugs?

Good luck with that! Sounds good, doesn't it?

I have a freezer full of mice which the snakes all readily accept... kinda hard to keep rationalizing $ spent raising 5 guppies just so that some day I'll have readily available guppies for the snakes who don't really need them...hmmm... yeah... lol

Hehe... I say go look anyway

I used to have a rat as a pet... he was cool! I don't remember his name nor what kind he was.

I hope that Dekayi makes it wayne!!
