Need some advice about what sizes of mice to order for my cali kings and hognoes

electricbluescat Oct 22, 2003 01:39 PM

I found a place where I can order 500 mice for a decent price.
That would last me a year. what sizes of mice should I order.
all of my snakes are 2003 hatchlings and they would grow into the different sizes of mice. My california kingsnakes eat larger pinkies than my hatchling western hognoses.

thanks,
john

Most reputable places will allow you to mix and match.

I would get about 100 pinkies, 200 fuzzies, and 200 hoppers. That should get any of those snakes through the next year.

Make sure the mice you buy are vacuum packed. They last a lot longer that way.

Can you pick me up 1/2 pound of white cheddar and a pound of domestic swiss while you're there??

I love rodent cheese!

I do too but it sure is a pain milking those little suckers. I'm trying to develop a milking machine. Also, the milk is great for white russians.
