I need help w/ breeding mice!?

I have a rosy boa that eats 2-3 pinkies a week and two ball pythons that eat a full size mouse every 1 1/2 weeks. I would like to start breeding mice myself instead of overpaying at the pet store, but I don't have any Idea where to start or how many mice I would need to start off w/. Any info would be much appreciated! Thank you

Update:

ioetwa and kaylee-thank you for your very unhelpfull advise, but I don't want an over load of mice either, going to find something else to do would be awesome!

    As a rat breeder I will tell you our feeder way (I don't breed feeders but I know)

    Its best to get breeding racks to keep track. A better bred mouse will give you more food for your snake and be healthy. Also keep these clean.

    I'd feed Mazuri which is a really good food and not too expensive.

    I'd read on breeder sites for show mice how to get a healthy stock. Health is still important so remember that. Most breeders still take their stock to the vet (after all you don't want a snake eating a diseased mouse).

    So basically learn about mice
