I could only dream of having something like this as buliding is not one of my strong points. How many females do I need to proudce enough of these guys for say 15 balls?

even the seed? Should I just give seed to pups?

i would, for you have 6 females(3 1.2 groups). My females have 18 per litter and rarely go below 15 per litter.

so if you take say 15 babies tiems 6 litters, that will give you roughly 90 babies a month and divide by your 15 balls and each snake will have 6 ASF each per month.

Stop feeding all food but mazuri. Use the seeds as a treat not as food.

OK I will stop the seed and all other feeds. So I will need 6 females I all ready have a 1.4 group and am getting another 1.2 soon from sassy. Do they need to be set up in 1.2 groups to proudce the bigger litters?

No 1.4 is fine if their not crowded when 4 litters are dropped.

First litters can go bad the easiest. The mom's just don't really have the skills yet. I also have a group that will turn to feeders when I get feeling better because the females have stopped producing milk I believe. Both ladies last litters died in a day or so. They didn't kill them so I feel lack of food was probably at fault. My home stays in the 69 -72 degree range. My room where all the feeders are at is usually about 70. I wouldn't get worried yet but certainly understand the frustration!!

The 1.4 is in a 40 gal breeder, and the 1.2 will be in a ten gal. Will this be enough room?

teresa I love that cage design ( ifi build it it twist and leans bad lol) I am guessing the bottom 4 tubs are for rats ?? I may have to try and build one and have it set so not as wide just taller since i got limited room . but that make my rodent storing a lot easier .. plusi can move it away from the window were the one tank is dueto limited room.

Thats my Rack design not hers. She quoted my post with the images in it. And yes the bottom tubs are for rats.
