The Arctic mice are the one kind of feeder my corn has ever refused when not in blue. She actually had one in her mouth, dropped it, and fled once-I assume it tasted really, really bad to her. With one snake, shipping just wasn't worth it, but I discovered I could buy mice at expos, and, later, connected with a university lab that orders several times a year that I could piggy back on for the snakes-especially helpful once we got a BP, because the mark-up on rats is insane.
I know one person locally who has a Burmese python, and he says that buying organic, grain-fed, farm raised chickens locally is cheaper than getting frozen rabbits for his snake-and the burm likes them better (apparently his snake also refuses supermarket chicken).
