PLT ex‑breeder mice weigh 35–39g and measure 8.5cm long × 2.3cm wide. They offer a reliable whole‑prey option for adult corn snakes, king snakes, rat snakes, monitor lizards, and very large amphibians. Additionally, their balanced nutritional profile supports healthy growth and natural feeding behaviour.

Feeding & Quality
To begin with, we freeze our ex‑breeder mice immediately after humane euthanasia. This approach preserves freshness and ensures your reptile receives the healthiest diet possible. Furthermore, once you defrost the mice, you can offer them directly to snakes, some lizards, and occasionally to larger amphibians.
As you continue feeding, choose prey sizes that match your animal’s needs and always allow rodents to reach room temperature before offering them.
Frozen Delivery You Can Trust
Because frozen foods must arrive fully frozen, we pack every order in insulated boxes, wrap them in insulating paper, and add dry ice (colder than –78.5°C). In addition, we ship with a fast, reliable courier to keep your reptile food in excellent condition.
By the time your order arrives, the dry ice will have evaporated. You’ll only find the packaging, which you can dispose of following the instructions on the packet. Since we use non‑airtight boxes, you won’t come into contact with the dry ice itself.
Snake Feeding Guide
For further support, our reptile care team uses a detailed feeding guide that explains:
- How to choose the right food
- How to select the correct prey size
- How to defrost safely
- How to offer food confidently and correctly
