buying frozen ones vs breeding my own

I knew I'd piss SOMEONE off. Unfortunately, my snakes aren't big enough to eat full grown mice. I'll play nice henceforth.

Well, someday they will be. And frozen mice keep for a long time.

But doing what you are doing, really should never be done.
Please consider doing something else.
 
I'm currently home sick from my job as a veterinary technician. Which is why I am an advocate of animal welfare. If you don't want the mice anymore, humanely euthanise them.

Do you not have a job or something? I said I'd be cool. Now how about you rail on someone else.

FYI I own a corperation. And am about to leave work now for a night of fun.

What exactly do you mean when you say you'll "be cool"?
Does that mean that you know what you are doing is wrong and that you will stop it, or does that mean you will say one thing and do whatever you damn well want?

Normal nice people who are unaware that what they do is wrong upon finding out say they will stop. And mean it.
Haven't heard that from you yet.
 
Let me spell it out for you. I will henceforth NOT release my older mice into the golf course. You didn't get that from my previous posts? Now go away. Please

No, I didn't get that from your previous posts. Thank you for specifying.
I have been here since 2005, and am here everyday. So, rest assured, I am leaving in a few minutes, but I will be back. I promise. :)

BTW, Starsevol. It's CORPORATION.

You are right. I am used to just using Inc. Nonetheless for legal purposes the retail outlet I run is a corporation.
Had a wonderful time last night by the way, fundraiser for the local BMX track.
Feeding snakes right now but will be leaving for work in a few.
 
Good for you . Glad you had fun. I'm seriously taking your comments to heart and will dispose of my aged mice in a more humane and resposible way. Perhaps I can find someone with full grown snakes and donate them as food.

I am so glad to hear that! Thank you!
I am one of those nuts (Not HSUS or PETA, I loathe those groups and do eat meat), but I am one of those nuts that tend to prefer animal company over most human company, I LOVE critters. Even mice. I know they are a food source but it hurts my heart when they are subjected to cruelty over and above what they need to be. Does that make sense?

Plus there are pathogens that can wipe out entire populations of native born wild stuff, I know that captive bred tortoises set loose can devistate a wild population. Can't let something like that happen without speaking up, can I?

Please forgive my zeal. :)

This sounds like a great idea! Perhaps you can check to see if there are any reptile rescues in your area. They are always in need of donations.

If you only have one snake I would go with F/T and I would try to find someplace online that you can order from. I know AmericanRodentSupply.com does great service. I feed a mixture of both since I have several different types of snakes that have several different feeding "wants" (like a corn snake that turns into a hateling if we offer it a rat instead of a mouse).
Petsmart is ok for F/T but they can get expensive quick. You figure 6 pinkies for 12$ (that is what mine here charges) yet when they get older you will have to buy bigger ones, for the same price and you get less in a box. Yet I just got in a shipment of 400 f/t mice ranging from pinkies to large adults, for a little over 100usd shipped.

Not to mention if you buy live and your snake ends up not wanting it, you would be stuck with a live mouse to take care of until your snake does want it. Which would end up adding additional costs as well.

Why are mice so expensive in America? I thought I'd be cheaper over the pond. Here in the UK I can get 5 pinks for less than £5 ($7.50). I think its closer to £2 for 5.
