> Buy mice in bulk online to save money on food.

For one snake I don't think buying bulk frozen is practical.
For a dozen snakes maybe it is.

The quantity required means long term storage of the frozen rodents, which can be done with vacuum sealing - but even then, shipping cost on a such small quantity makes it a wash (even with vacuum sealing you don't want to keep frozen rodents for _too_ long).

For one snake, buying a months supply of frozen rodents from your local pet store is just a lot more practical, and is still cheap (less expensive than a months supply of cat or dog food).
