I'm going to be setting up at least one feeding colony in order to provide food for my four 2011 ball pythons. They currently get two small mice a week, but I want to move them on to bigger foods since they've proven to be capable of taking two small mice in one feeding rather than in two feedings as I currently do.
I currently have three female ASFs that are no older than a year old and will be acquiring at least one male ASF at the end of the month, but I may get two males and three more females. I planned on keeping them in groups of 1.3 in various sized aquariums since I have a bunch of empty ones currently (10-75 gallons).
I was also thinking of starting a mouse colony and/or rat colony but will I need to start one (or more) if the ASFs are breeding normally? I plan on expanding my snake collection in the future to include more ball pythons and possibly a burm, so I want to be sure that I have my bases covered for the time being while still being able to expand easily, if need be.
