my addiction:
1.1? normal ball pythons (lazlo and izzy)
0.1? amelenistic corn snake (zyklon)
0.1 blizzard corn (blizz)
hybrid breeders association
hybrid haven

also check out Cajun Mice. i've gotten excellent quality animals from them. vacuum packed and clean.

And I'll throw in a plug for Big Cheese. Since shipping is so expensive, you'll likely want to go with a supplier that is a close to you as possible. Especially for small orders, shipping can double the cost of your order.

you could also try picking them up at a local herp show, they will sell them in just about any amount for really cheap. it'll save you a ton on shipping.

If there's a show that comes near you, I would check it out as an option. Then you get the added bonus of attending the show. I almost always buy mine at the Ohio show. Duffy

If you only need a small amount.Go to the pet store buy live and freeze them your self.

If you are close to a university which uses lab rats and mice, many will give you their excess rodents for free. You can also ask for mice and rats that have been used as the control group in experiments, as such have not been subject to tests and they are normally alreday gassed and frozen...
