Cost for ASF rats?

What do you guys usually pay for live asf rats that you buy from shows (males and females)?

I'm doing a reptile show this weekend and I have no idea what a good price for asf rats.

Also plain white live feeder mice as well. They're smalls I'd say.

Thanks!

I paid $25 for a 1:3 colony of ASFs. But ASFs are hard to come by where I live.

I paid 2 bucks a piece for my ASF I think, there were subadults and adults available for that price.

Varies pretty widely. Up at the Pittsburgh show, I used to pay anywhere from a buck each to five each depending on who they were from.

Sadly, the going price in my state is $25 for a single ASF.

It really depends upon your location. I've found them around here for $1.50 each.

$25 each?? Which state? *starts gassing up the truck*

I think the going rate around here is usually from $2-5 each for sub-adults.

It really depends on where you are located. I get adults here for $3 each but they can go for a lot more.

Do you happen to live in Orlando? because there is a Repticon show here tomorrow. I actually breed them. I found a local guy who had a few colonies and I paid $4.00 each. I just breed them for my picky eaters. I try to handle them to keep them tame. They would be considered pet quality. I hate mean rats and those ones get selectively fed off first if they are trouble makers :D They should have someone who sells them at the show if you are from here. Don't pay more than $4.00 each and get the pied colored ones (white and gray) they tend to be the nicest from my experience. good luck!

I pay $1.75 for large adults..

You better not sell that ruby eyed doe that I love! :P

I have an ASF breeding facility in Chicago, Illinois. The market price seems to be $2.50 for adults/sub-adults and $2 for younger ones. But If they are going to be use for breeding expect to pay up to $7 each. If you live in the Chicagoland area I might be able to help. There is a lot of information and ASF's pictures on my site: www.jugglerbp.com.

The asf's are very friendly pet type and are mostly bew or almost all white with black eyes.

I think a bunch are ruby eyed whites or almost all white with ruby eyes.

I'm not selling your favorite, don't worry!


And I'm in NY :)

Well good. Cause if you sold her, I'd hunt you down, and beat you with a carp. :mad:

Never mind. #1, I'm in Florida. It'd take a LOT of asf sales for me to make the fuel money back... and #2, California isn't a place I want to be.

*looks at all the asf* Sigh.

#3 they are illegal in CA :P

Lol. People still breed them regardless though.
