My only concern is that this is my only snake and she only eats 1 mouse every 10 days. I have a deep freezer with plenty of room and I also can get a vacuum sealing system as well. Would the mice be okay for over a year, or is that too long to be frozen?

Wow! Great question! However, I don't really know the answer (sorry). However, even though I admit not being the SHARPEST knife in the DISHWASHER, I would just suggest thawing them out first and taking a big whiff (at risk of provoking your gag reflex) before serving it up to your little sneaky one. I would also like to know the answer though since I have been considering shopping online for a bulk shipment of rodents (Mack's wasn't fresh enough in my book to warrant another purchase from me - I purchased 100 pinkies for new hatchlings for approximately $50 with shipping, but there were about 250-300 little legs & tails in the bottom of the bag, which may be the norm, but many of the pinks had freezer burn on them also).
In any case, I would be interested to see other responses to your question also!
