Does size matter?

A personal note to the OP.... We do love new people on this site. In fact it is a huge part of what this site is all about. I would love nothing more then to help you along the way in this rewarding hobby. That is true for both your ASF's and your snakes.

All I am saying is you are following in the same footsteps as many others have. And the result is never good. Just slow down a little. Believe me, I know it is hard to do... But it is also the responsible thing to do.



Good Luck.

Amen to that, Mike. When I first joined, I wanted to breed, breed, breed. Except that, breeding costs money, hard work, and lots of additional space. I've put that on the back burner to take care of my current snakes until I can financially provide for them.

I had a normal male, and while he doesn't fit into my breeding plans, the best thing I found for him, was to donate him to my one-day nephew who loves snakes. This teaches him responsibility while allowing me to keep an eye on him.

I think that the op needs to do as much research as possible before plunging him/herself into breeding. It's a serious financial investment as well as a life investment that needs to be thought about.

And we're here to help! The op just needs to come from a different angle without getting offended. You join a forum to get help. Some times, people on a forum are going to thwack you on your nose and THEN push you in the right direction. That thwack hurts, but it's needed. Trust me. I've been thwacked. O_o Just accept it with grace and learn from it. That's all you can really do.
