What's the best place to get good f/t mice?

I know there's Rodent Pro, it sounds very good, but the smallest order
I can make is for 100 pinkies. I only have one Corn Snake, lol.
She eats one pinky a week, I'm pretty sure I'd have to give her fuzzies by
the time I run out of pinkies. XD
 
Very true. I would check around at your local pet stores. We get ours at a local pet store for now and 6 medium mice cost us 6 bucks. The mice were in great condition. We are thinking about going through Rodent Pro, though, but that's because we have adult corns and can afford to buy them all in bulk.
 
I would have to definitely recommend The Mouse Factory. They've got Quick & Easy packages in which you can order 50 pinks and 50 fuzzies (or you can do a custom order of 50 pinks and 25 fuzzies like I did) which will be a little bit better for you.
I ordered 50 pinks and both my Corn (At the time, he was on double pinks) and Black Milk (who is a fast grower) went through 30, so i've still got 20 sitting around. If I could get some dry ice locally, i'd send them your way, but I can't, unfortunately. :(
I may just have to get another corn so I can get rid of these mice! :D
 
The best thing, I always say, is to breed your own, gas 'em and freeze 'em. More work involved, but you know what your mice are eating, and therefor what your snake is eating. ;)
 
I love TMF, too. Right now I am feeding Gourmet Rodent mice, because I can go pick them up at the factory. There's a pretty big difference in quality. The mice just seem skinny, and when they thaw, they are a little mushy.

Pinks last months if you pack them right- you'll get another snake, it's inevitable.
 
Being that you only own one snake, purchasing online would not be very economical for you unless you have room to store all the sizes your snake would need as he grows (shipping can be $30+ which seriously cuts in to any discounts you may acquire from purchasing online). I would suggest checking out a local reptile show and picking up what you need. Save on shipping and you might just come home with a new herp!
