Cheers, yeh at the moment im just sticking to Shirley Aquatics for food supplies (they're local and pretty reputable)

Just think its strange how you can buy retics and burms online but not the live food! (which would be pre-killed, im just having trouble locating live mice at the moment)

lol, if you out the mouse in a plastic bag with no holes in, and then into warm water, it defrosts much easier, as you can just leave it to defrost. the putting it in a bag helps keep the mouse smell on them.

for one snake it would be much easier to just to buy frozen! why are you wanting to switch on to fresh killed if your royal is eaten frozen as you will have more trouble switiching from fresh to frozen if you have to for any reason!
