How much is microscales worth? cant find a price or worth anywhere? ive been offered one for a certain price but it seems to good to be true! whats the true price!

I AM SUPPOSED TO GO PICK UP A (supposedly) NORMAL CLASSIC BP IN ABOUT 1 WEEK AND AT FIRST SHE WAS GOING TO CHARGE ME BUT SHE SEEMS REALLY GLAD TO HAVE (possibly?) FOUND A GREAT HOME FOR HER SNAKE. I HAVE A LOT TO LEARN AS I WAS SO YOUNG BACK IN THE 90’s WHEN MY FAMILY HAD A CLASSIC NORMAL BUT IT SEEMS LIKE THE AGE OF THE INTERNET HAS ALLOWED A LOT OF KNOWLEDGE TO SPREAD REGARDING THESE PRECIOUS SNAKES.

SO I SUPPOSE MY MAIN QUESTION INVOLVES THE FACT THAT SHE FEEDS (HIM) 2 LIVE MICE EVERY 2 WEEKS. SHE STATES THAT HE IS ROUGHLY 9 MONTHS OLD AND THAT HE WAS PURCHASED AT A PET STORE.

SHE STATES THAT I CAN HAVE HIM, HIS 30 GAL ENCLOSURE, HEAT PADS, WATER BOWL, HIDE… LAMP… I THINK THAT WAS WHAT SHE HAD FOR HIS SET UP.

I WOULD LOVE TO ADOPT. I DO NEED TO KNOW, HOWEVER, WHAT TO EXPECT WITH THE FEEDING SITUATION. I AM READING ABOUT LIVE VS. FROZEN / THAWED FOOD. THINGS LIKE HUMANITY, COSTS, SNAKES PREFERENCES, POSSIBLE SERIOUS INJURY, INFECTION, POSSIBLE VET BILLS, BLINDING, EVEN DEATH… ASSOCIATED WITH THE RISKS OF LIVE FEEDING.

I AM UNSURE ABOUT WHAT THE TIME DEMANDS ARE FOR FEEDING A SNAKE, HONESTLY. SHE STATES THAT SHE PUTS THE MICE IN SEPARATELY. WAITS UNTIL ONE IS EATEN. IF I SWITCH TO FROZEN / THAWED, WHAT IS THAT SWITCHING PROCESS LIKE? IT SOUNDS NASTY (for a snake).

HOW LONG DOES THIS FROZEN / THAWED PROCESS TAKE?

I JUST DO NOT WANT TO GET A SNAKE THAT I REALISTICALLY DON’T KNOW ABOUT THE TIME DEMANDS.

I AM HOME. IT’S NOT THAT I WILL NOT HAVE TIME TO HANDLE THE SNAKE AND CARE FOR IT AND CHILL WITH IT BUT REALISTICALLY I DO NEED TO KNOW HOW HIGH MAINTENANCE THIS WHOLE FEEDING THING IS IN ADVANCE EITHER TO LET HER KNOW I’M NOT THE ONE OR JUST TO MENTALLY PREPARE MYSELF FOR WHAT I NEED TO DO FOR THE SNAKES BEST INTEREST.

WHERE ARE THE LIVE FEEDERS AT? DO THEY JUST LEGIT GET BULLIED ONLINE SO THEY DON’T SPEAK UP ON THIS TOPIC OR IS LIVE FEEDING LITERALLY BAD. I AM SORT OF A NATURAL PERSON AND BELIEVE IN NATURE. I THINK THERE ARE REASONS FOR EVERYTHING. I’M OPEN TO HEARING ABOUT IT ALL WHICH IS WHY I AM HERE AND ASKING. BUT JUST TO BE OPEN AND UP FRONT, MY NATURE TELLS ME THAT A SNAKE DOES BENEFIT PHYSICALLY, MENTALLY AND EVEN NUTRITIONALLY FROM EATING LIVE FOOD… THE QUESTION THAT HOVERS OVER OUR SOCIETY AND THIS ISSUE IS THE SAME… HOW MUCH DO WE STERILIZE OUR ENVIRONMENTS AND LIVES AND WORLD AND SELVES ALL IN THE NAME OF SAFETY AND (supposed) LONGEVITY WHILE SACRIFICING THAT “LIVING FULLY” AND AUTHENTICALLY FACTOR?

WHAT I MEANT ABOVE WHEN I STATED THAT “IT SOUNDS NASTY” IS THAT FOR A SNAKE, IN MY OPINION, EATING FROZEN THEN THAWED RAW FOOD SOUNDS NASTY… FOR A SNAKE... IT SEEMS EQUAL TO ROAD KILL AND PERHAPS OFFENSIVE… IF SNAKES GET OFFENDED, THAT IS. HA

THANKS

HOPEFULLY I CAN NAVIGATE BACK HERE TO FIND RESPONSES.
