Chose three snakes I have had since they were hatchlings and counted up the totals to date.
Va beach getula female. July 09 ---to current date.
6 tails
19pinks
9 peach fuzzies
126 fuzzies
100 hoppers
12 rat pups
23 chicks
53 mice
Next up Zonata agalma. From 06/09 to present date. 58 pinks
40 peach fuzzies
35 fuzzies
3 hoppers

Just found this petty fun and I have counted up the totals for several more animals I have had for many years. A lot of food!!

Hey Joe,

that is very interesting data and a cool thing that you added it all up! Its kind of amazing to look back on the amount that one snake eats over a period of time, isn't it?

Sure is Dave and when people buy or sell adults they either get a great deal or lose a boatload of money. Something to be said for breeding ones own rodents for sure. Glad I don't buy mine!!!!!

Yeah that's a good point. You got the mice outside in a garage or something? I had a small colony in my basement and I couldn't control the smell no matter how much I cleaned them so I got rid of them.
