hamsters are mean, they won't hesitate to scratch and bite.
Also, I'd think hamsters are more expensive and troublesome than and other kind of feeder.
I sell fish and reptiles to pet stores and wholesalers. Depending who it was, they would either give me rodents for free or I would pay between 25 to 50 cents ea. They would be the old breeders, injured or if they had to much overstock. Sometimes when I was at the pet store someone would come in the store with a whole litter of young hamesters , gerbils or mice. They would store would ask if the store wanted them. The store would ask me if I could use them , of corse I would say yes. When I got home I would either snap their necks and feed dead or I would use tongs and dangle the rodent by its tail to make sure the snakes strike was a head shot. Now I still get these every now and then not like before. I never feed these to my main collection. Just incase of any pathagins or parasites. Insted I would feed these rodents to my living room collection. These are wild caughts and snakes that I get from herp shows, old pets no longer wanted, or buying out someones snake collection for resale. Only the babies of these snakes would be put in my main collection in the snake room.
