If I remember right their live ""pet" where more expensive than a Mom and Pop store farther up the road from me. And I can get pinky - adults from them.
Yea, that's typical. The shop I used to run, we sold live adults for $2.99 and f/t adults for $2.00, mainly because I wanted to incentivize feeding f/t. But a quick perusal of the thread led me to believe that these shops were charging close to the same price, or at least that the f/t prey offered was in less-than-adequate condition making the higher cost a viable option for live...
Either way, my point was if you needed to get live food from a PetCo or PetSmart, for whatever reason, you don't really have to tell them the truth...
