I keep mine in the freezer... the drawer at the bottom is specifically for the frozen mice/rats... used to just be on a shelf but with over 200 mice in there i need my own drawer for them.

Me and my other half aren't really bothered about there being frozen mice or ratties or whatever in the freezer, so I just keep the pinkies/pups, and fuzzies in bags in my little freezer, we got one of those stupid fridge freezers where the freezer is about the size of a printer! And the small/adult mice and weaner rats are in a tupperware box in the big freezer.

I'd agree with what has been said. Just get the snake and within a few days she will love it more than you do! :P

Luckily my other half likes snakeys so....lucky me!

The frozen food we buy has been put to sleep humanely with CO2 gas; the mice get tired, fall asleep and pass away in their sleep. They mostly come from stock bred for food; large companies will use stock descended from lab bred mice. So don't worry, your snake food is not full of dodgy chemicals, nor did it used to be someone's pet!

For storage we keep ours in a box in a bag in a freezer drawer, out of sight out of mind for the squeamish people :wink:
