what costs the most to feed a week a snake ora lizard ?

That would depend on the snake/lizard and the ages i guess...

Depends on the species - pound for pound it's going to be a lizard, but something like a pygmy chameleon would be cheaper to feed each week than a large snake would be...

A tub of mealworms for my leopard geckos lasts over a week and they cost £1.50 a tub.

Now if you can feed a huge snake for less i'd like to know about it...

Obviously as has been said it would depend on the exact type of snake or lizard, its size, and what exactly it eats. At a complete guess though, generally I'd go for lizards. At the minute my snakes are on pinkies (£4.50 for 10, has one a week), fuzzies (£5 for 10, has one a week), and fish (£5 for 3 packets which each must have about 100 in, she has 3 a time, every 3 days or so). The tubs of locusts etc. I've seen in the pet shops don't seem to have that many in, and I've no idea how many they'd eat in a day but it must be at least a third of one of those little tubs for an average-sized lizard (bearded, say). Unless you get a vegetarian lizard, and then it's cheap as anything.

Yep, got to be a lizard.

Spike gets through about £4.50 worth of locusts a week, and I buy about £3 worth of veg for him each week.

An adult boa constrictor you'd only feed an XL rat every 2 weeks... at retail prices that's £2 every 2 weeks but if you buy in bulk or get wholesale could be as little as £1 every 2 weeks or 50p a week.. This is all our 9'6 girly eats, snakes really don't need a lot to keep them going once adult.

Unless we are talking an absolutely massive snake pounding rabbits, lizards are almost always going to be more expensive.
