im pretty sure that someone already asked this but umm yea ill ask again .... what are the names of all the mice i can get (like pinkies....) and how should i go about killing them? cheapest and humanly as possable thanks again !

you could always go to your local petsmart or petco and buy f/t mice (f/t is frozen thawed mice)...then all you have to do is defrost them in hot water and serve them to your snake...

How many snakes do you have right now? If you have less than 5 probably wouldnt be worth breeding your own mice.

 

[mynamesrick]

now that i think about it.. unless you breed lots of snakes it probably wouldnt be worth it.

thing is that the snake eats every week...and yea i mights as well kinda of stock pile them from a website....how long can i keep them in the fridge for (im talking about pinkies)

Gennerally ~12 months if you store them well. Leave them in origional packaging till opened, then put them in zip locks (GOOD zip locks) and put those in some sort of air tight Tupperware. Just minimize their air exposure.

I keep readin that if you dont' have X number of snakes then it isn't worth breeding. Will I have to disagree to some extent. I only have one snake and I breed my own mice. But for me it was a lot cheaper, cause mice are very expensive here. The pinkys was $2.25 each. lol and the price went up with the sizes. So it is worth it to raise mice if they are expensive to purchase. If they are cheap to buy then I'd buy. lol Hope this helps.
