Check petstores and reptile shows. I've found online vendors are expensive by the time you add shipping and handling.

depending on how many snakes you have it may be worthwhile to order 100 from an internet based company. true, the shipping is insane, but what I did is I placed an order for 100 fuzzies from rodentpro.com - $20 - and then I got a pet shop locally to go in with me and he ordered a bunch to sell in the store and so we split up shipping and I ended up paying like $8 for my part of the shipping bill vs 28, but still even if you bought 100 fuzzies @ .20/ea = $20.00 28.95 shipping that would only be about 49 cents a mouse and thats a hell of a lot cheaper than any pet store. he's seeling fuzzies at 80 cents a pop, cheapest in town.

The best thing to do is find 3 or 4 other people to go in with and order enough to get the quantity price breaks and then split the shipping. If you order big enough quantities, you can get the price down substantially. For instance, I usually end up paying about 22 cents each for pinkies including shipping. I place 3 orders or more a year, each order is 1,000 to 1,500 rats and mice.
