Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Looks like I'm moving...
So, guys, I'm looking at moving back to my home state of Arkansas, and from what I remember about my area (Knoxville, AR-- near Russellville and Clarksville), there were only two places to buy rodents-- Davis Pet Store, which only sold live feeders, and Pet Smart, which only sold up to small mice (frozen)... and my problem is that I keep (mostly) Boas. (Columbian Red-Tails mostly, with 1 rainbow boa and a ball python)
For the last 3 years, I have been in the Madison Area (Wisconsin), and there are plenty of places that sell frozen feeders in the sizes I need for my snakes... so, I'm now looking at getting feeders online. Are there any places that you prefer?
Looking at the general cost of feeders and their shipping, but also quality of product.
Sorry if this is in the wrong area-- I wasn't entirely sure where this best fit.

I have been using Rodent Pro and have no complaints about them. Their rodents have always been clean and well packed, arriving frozen solid; the prices are good and the customer service I have received has always been great. They have also been offering $30 flat rate shipping recently which is nice.
Another place worth trying would be American Rodent Supply. I have not purchased rodents from them (just my snake racks) but was very satisfied with the customer service provided by Brian.
Hope your move goes well.

Thank Jon. I've heard a lot about RodentPro-- Hadn't heard about American Rodent Supply, so that gives me another place to check out.
I'm sure the move will go fine, just want to be sure I know my options before I get there and need to do feedings (My other option is to buy some rodents before the move and just pack them in the cooler. LOL)

I've been using American Rodent Supply for 2 years now. And I can say i'm extremely happy with their rodents and shipping! For my particular location, the shipping is free as long as my orders are over $100. So that is a huge plus considering all the other "big" places want to charge you an arm and a leg to ship..
They ship the order out within 48 hours of receiving your order (least so far), which I've had to wait 2-3 weeks for some other places online, just to process the order. The soonest I received my order from American Rodent Supply was 2 days after ordering. So that was pretty fast on their part!
American Rodent Supply also has very competitive prices, very much so on par with Rodent Pro.
Either way whatever you decide to go with, it's always going to be much cheaper buying F/T online vs in a pet store. The pet stores around here are insane with their F/T prices.. haha.
Good luck on the move!

Of the suppliers I've used over the years (including the two mentioned above), I prefer Mice Direct.

I have been using big cheese for the last year and have not had any issues. There is always a good range of sizes in every size category very reasonable prices and shipping cost. I haven't used the others but I haven't felt the need to go anywhere else.
Good luck with your move and I hope whoever you end up with treats you (and the snakes ) right. Hope we all helped you
