My new asf colony

[FatBoy]

My question to you is if you are ready for the financial obligation of feeding them all. I have around 70 ball pythons with about 100 rats and mice as feeder colonies. I spend around $125 per week to feed and bed this realitively small colony. With the numbers you are talking you will have to sell a lot of asfs to offset the cost.

Could you do me a favor and not keep me updated on your rat breeding progress. Thanks

I believe this thread is about my asf rat colony so if you dont want any updates keep your nose out of it

I already have multiple clients and pet stores lined up for sales everyweek. Not only that I worked a deal with a pet store where they supply me with food and bedding for rats. I have already thought about the cost to which is why I made these deals. Thanks

WOW...I have had my rat colony for about 2 years and I see this pet store coming out on the short end of the stick. Like I said, I spend around $600/month on feed and bedding for my rats, I don't think we have any pet stores around here that sell that many rats in a month. Hopefully I am wrong...good luck.

And I always have the option of selling f/t so If I do get overwhelmed I can freeze some of the population

...so If I do get overwhelmed...

That couldn’t possibly happen. Could it?

If the snakes your selling doesn't fit into your breeding program this year why are you offering gravid girls for sale? Why did you breed them? How long have you owned snakes? I'll tell you almost every litter of rats we raise my wife or son will pick out their favorite and they get extra attention. My snakes are cold blooded but I am not COLD HEARTED!!!!

I have a feeling I know how this is going to end...
