    Re: Why ASFs over regular

    Comes down to what size you need to feed. ASF's would be a good choice for small to medium sized snakes because they stay smaller.

    That's about the only true difference. Yes, they have an odor!!! They are more likely to bite, they aren't very social with humans, but they do breed very well.

    How do you figure?

    In intensity? I say ASF's win in intensity. In permeation? Regular rats are about 3 times as large, and so is their poop. They outta have "more" odor.
