Should I keep them or feed them?

[SilverWolf]

Went to a local pet store for random stuff and saw they had some ASF's. Had a look at them and they had 1.3 so I ended up bringing them home. Mainly I was thinking of trying to feed them to my male ball python that hasn't eaten since early winter. I figured he hasn't eaten for so long because of winter and the bf putting him with the female to breed. But I thought just in case. But since I have 1.3 of them should I let them breed and feed off the babies?
I could probably get a single ASF from another place to try feeding to my male bp if I really needed to. That place won't sell females as they don't want you breeding your own. lol
Or should I just feed them off? One may be pregnant already, I'll post pictures and someone might help with that.
But any suggestions would help. Thanks a bunch!

I'd keep them and get another feeder when needed.

That girl isnt a possible preggo, she's gonna blow!

X2, keep them and have your own supply of feeders

That is kinda what I thought too. I decided to keep them. I'm going to a reptile show today and I'll see if anyone there has just a single ASF to get for my ball python.

Now is when I wished we had kept my tubs I made up for the rats. Oh well, they are pretty cheap at Walmart so I'll pick up a couple today while I'm out.

Thanks for the help! And I'll post pictures when she has the babies.

Well, Big Mama is having her babies as we speak. I went in to add water and feed and decided to lift up her hide. And there was a baby. I didn't want to disturb her anymore so I left. I'll have to check back tomorrow and see how many I end up with. I'll try and get a picture if I think I can without disturbing her too much.

Counted 6 yesterday when I took these pictures. But just went in to check and there are more than 6 now, just not sure exactly as momma wouldn't budge. lol
They are too cute.

Now I need to get a grow out tank ready.

Thanks!
