hi all just posting to see it its worth breeding mice like a 1.1 or a 1.2 setup for 6 snakes? plus i am in the progress of breeding my corn snakes so i will have a few babys to feed later this year i have breed them in the past and has saved me loads of cash but i will see how it goes because it is costng me about 4 pound every 5 days plus crickets for my other things so it all adds up eney way theres my pitch fire away!

Try that topic matey, I don't have any snakes and so can't really comment. I'm sure others will be along soon. Cool

Yes it's worth it IMHO, for numerous reasons and not just finacially. You know the quality of your mice. For six snakes I would go with a 1.6 group.

You can always freeze down any surplus if they produce loads quickly for when they have a lull.

I would definitely go for it, starting up properly with rats myself for snakes now and once they get going it will give me rats that I know the quality of and will save me money at the same time Very Happy

If your after mice types why not try multimammates(sp?) they breed like wildfire.

I would say its definitely worth if you got the time. You know what your feeding your reps is of a good quality.

I ran out of my own mice a few weeks back and had to buy some from a shop and ended up with some flat pathetic looking mice, which from the smell when defrosted weren't that fresh.
