I started a couple of mouse colonies for the 08 season... I had some store credit for trading my last 07 to a pet store (my favorite store to deal with, the owner also breeds snakes and takes really good care of his stock) well I accepted some of the payment in rodent form...
I got a couple of pretty ones at least!

Well, to me it is only worth doing during the hatchling season to supplement any frozen mice I purchase in bulk, I really don't enjoy keeping rodents a whole lot. I usually have one or 2 colonies every year and feed them off when the last baby is sold or takes f/t... There are always a few hatchlings that want live pinkies every year so I just do the mice keeping off and on. But If you want to breed your own mice it is easy... Might be worth doing after you get to 10 or so. Last time I counted I had 35 snakes but most of them are taking f/t so these mice are just for the 08 hatchlings when they come ;)
 
Yeah I freeze and feed as f/t most of what my colonies produce. It is just nice to have live on hand just in case. Once a hatchling taking F/T I am not going to give it live mice in case it starts liking those better :)
