So I currently live in a 2 BR apartment and am wondering about how practical it would be to start up a duo or trio of ASFs to feed no more than 3 snakes.

A couple questions:

How many seperate cages will I need to house the breeders and resulting offspring(assuming that I let all the offspring grow to adult size before PK and freezing)? since I don't want any "unauthorized" breeding I will have to seperate males and females, and introducing new offspring to an older batch is a bad idea, I assume most people have quite a few seperate cages right? I'm thinking if you need two new cages(male and female seperation) every time a female has a litter I could be looking at quite a few cages needed.

Smell. I have 3 choices of where to keep ASFs. In the living room, in the office/snake room, or in my bedroom. If I kept them in the snake room, would it cause any behavior changes in my snakes(being able to smell food all the time)? Does anyone here keep ASFs in their apartment, and if so does the smell cause issues for yourself or guests?

I'm probably going to wait until january or february to look into a duo or trio, but before I get more serious about it I need answers to these questions to decide if ASFs are good or bad for my current living situation.
