Baby Ball Pythons and ASFs

[Mitch21]

The other day I was thinking about my future breeding plans, and my mind got onto the topic of what type of feed I'll provide for the baby snakes. I've done some mice breeding but really don't enjoy it because of the smell and the cannibalistic nature among a few other things. So I picked up a trio of ASFs and I really enjoy them. However, in the future, if I feed my newly hatched snakes ASFs, will it be a problem for a future owner who is purchasing the snake? Or will it not be much of a problem because they are still young snakes and are more easily able to switch?

I realize all snakes are different, so there is no telling what could happen, but has anyone thought about this before?

Thanks!

I think that it would be a potential problem for your buyers because what happens if the baby BP's imprint on the ASF's? Unless there's a supplier in the area, they really dont have a source to buy them from unless they breed ASF's themselves. Of course, what you could always do is start a large ASF breeding colony and start selling feeders to people in the area, creating a little more business for yourself. just an idea
