I've noticed that quite a few of you are commenting on the price of live rats over frozen. What kind of prises are you looking at ? In the UK a petstore rat will set you back £7 ($13). Where as the price of frozen is really cheap, ratpups (which I'm feeding to my snake at the moment) are about £0.43 ($0.80) even jumbo rats are only £1.50 ($3.20).

Also when people on the forum have snakes that will not eat the advice given is to try mice to get them to eat, here the advice is to use a Gerbil/Jird which is a natural food source for them in the wild. As the advice on this forum comes from people who look after there snakes on a day to day basis what's your opinion ?

Couldn't resist, my snake just shed and has a new shiny set of scales ( still cannot get her to smile for the camera though ).
