Cool, thanks. Looks like I am still at least two months away from having any babies. At least my current ASF dealer will be happy heh.

I get em for a buck a piece, so not too bad, I really have started to prefer live ones than frozen. Much easier to just grab x number of ASF out of the bin and toss em in the cage than return any that aren't eaten. Much easier than defrosting, wiggling, then refreezing that I was doing.
