ASF breeding colony Spartanburg SC
I will be moving soon and I am looking to sell my ASF breeding colony. I have three breeding groups of 1.2 in ten gallon tanks with wire tops and about 80-100 in a huge tank with a wire top. Not sure what the ratio is in the grow up tank but if I had to guess it's female heavy because I feed the males off first. Will also include what ever bedding I have and food. They are fed Mazuri 6F. Would be perfect for someone setting up a large breeding colony or someone just looking to feed their own snakes. Make offers. Would consider ball pythons in trade up or down. Best way to reach me is via email @ zues9mm@aol.com Thanks Clay
Re: ASF breeding colony Spartanburg SC
To answer a few question I have been asked.
In the grow out tank there is 51 females and 48 males(# will change on feeding day) of varying ages. I am not promising that ratio is perfect but I will promise that it is within 5 either way. In the breeding tank 1 I have 1.2 breeders with 9 babies and one expecting, breeding tank 2 I have 1.2 breeders with 26 babies( really close to being weaned), and tank 3 I have 1.2 breeders with no babies and one expecting. Tank three I think is about ready for retirement AKA snake food. I get between 20-30 per tank a month. If I was worried about it I'm sure it could be more. I am only feeding a small collection so I didn't need huge #'s. Most people retire their breeders as soon as their production starts to go down. I don't bother until they start missing litters. My ASF's are not aggressive. I have never been bitten and I pick all of them up by hand. If I ever have one that seems aggressive or over jumpy I feed them off right away. You are not going to walk around with them like a pet but they won't run across the cage to bite you like some. Let me know if you have any questions. The 10 gallon tanks have cracks that have been repaired with silicone.

Someone make me an offer. I'll be around after the
1st. #'s may be a liitle different due to feedings. How does 200 or a ball python trade sound?
