    ASF Size chart?
    I've never seen an ASF size chart similar to the ones Rodentpro has for mice & rats. Here are links in case you don't know what I'm talking about:
    http://www.rodentpro.com/catalog.asp...el=frozen_mice
    http://www.rodentpro.com/catalog.asp...el=frozen_rats

    Does anyone have a link to one for ASFs?

    Does anyone here want to make one up?

    I think it would be useful for many reasons. For one thing, I've heard many times that ASFs grow slowly, but I really have no clue how slowly. From the Rodentpro chart, a new breeder could estimate it will take their rats roughly 30 days to reach 50 grams. How long does it take with an ASF? 45 days? I have no idea, but with a size chart, I could make a reasonable estimate.

    Another thing I am personally interested in, and many owners of various smaller snake species would be too, is just how small are ASF pinks?

    I know it won't be perfect, because there will be variations depending on the genetics of each person's ASF colony, as well as other factors such as diet, but it would at least be a starting point.

    Thanks Deb. I shall now go crawl into a hole and be thoroughly embarrassed that I didn't see it right there on the front page. Duh.

    Why isn't it stickied though?

    I have looked at Mikes size chart over a million times. I agree that it should be a sticky. it's been quite helpful.
