    ASFs in reptile room

    This may be a dumb question but one i must ask but is it possible to house and breed feeder ASFs in close proximity to my snakes? Reason for this is i have my snake room kept at an even temperature, rent out the rest ofthe rooms in my house, and fear my garage will be much to cold in the coming months. My gut says this wont work out as the smell may increase constant agression in my bps especially as idealy my terrarium and my ASF tub would be right beside eachother..

    Re: ASFs in reptile room

    Hmm. I honestly didnt expect that as all the bp breeders ive been to have always had seperate rooms for their feeders. But that makes my lifes worlds easier

    I used to keep them in the same room, however, I put an air purifier between the snakes and rats. Not because of feeding response, but because of the dust from the bedding in the rats cages. The rats are now in a separate room and the air purifier is still running in the snake room right next to the humidifier.

    it may increase your snakes desire to eat, I see nothing wrong with that

    Before I moved I kept 30 adult breeding rats and their babies(100 plus at times) and 4 groups of asf's in the same small 9x12 room with 20+ snakes and the snakes desire to eat was amazing.
