Just wondering how much it costs you a month to keep your snakes. Sorry if it's a bit too personal but it might be quite interesting to see how much it differs with amount of snakes, ages and other things.
I have 2 adults, 1 is on a diet though so that makes things a tad cheaper and 2 babies. Costs me about £10.20 - 12.20, not including electricity and water.
2 x 1.50 for Jumbo mice
1 x 1.20 for Large mice
About 10 x 0.50 for fuzzies
Clean out for all £1 |

Ah ok. I wonder why they have both? The co.uk one does't seem to to very popular in search engines.
G.P They seem very cheap to feed the, boa's it's quite surprising. |

Electricity for them costs about £4-5 and for anyone whos interested, http://www.ukpower.co.uk/tools/running_costs_electricity/ at. Hopefully the mice cost will go down soon when I buy online in about 5 months time, if the TSM food site comes back up again :/ I suppose about £1.50 to heat one of them isn't bad for a month really. |

Aubiose is a hemp horse bedding that a lot of us use (or Hemcore which is supposedly the English version). This thread discusses it -

You can ring the number on their website and find out where your nearest stockist is. http://www.aubiose.co.uk/

no idea of breakdown between Boa, kings, ratsnakes, corns, royals and beardies but round about £30ish, cleanout is cheap a bale of Aubiose about £10ish and does us a fair few months. |

bedding erm about £4 but will change bedding soon to be cheaper or for the hatchies some kitchen towel.

i could easily spend 50 quid a week on food, but at the moment, they are being fed less often, so is about 30 quid a week, not including crickets, locusts and meal worms. |

100 Rat pups = £15
100 Small mice = £18.50
100 Jumbo Mice = £25
Big bale of aspen = £8.70
Big bale of Orchid Bark = £10.40

1 jumbo every 5 days - so 6 jumbo @65p - £4 (Royal)
Plus bag of aspen per month - £3 |

at the moment with hatchies it costs around £20 per month for pinkies, and around £25 for mice for the rest of them :(
cleanouts are cheap, a few rolls of kitchen roll from the pound shop and a bale of aubiose every so often
plus £15 ish a month for crix and veggies for the beardie |
