(mice vs asf rats) who's a better feeder??

[FINGAZZ]

Exactly! The site I had found that said they were illegal here stated the reason being our average weather is sufficient in supporting ASF life. They would be capable of overpopulating a small area in just a few years.
I was also reading a website with information on keeping/breeding them (CLICK HERE) that has a list of breeders and lists several states in which they are illegal.

wow thanks.that helps.nice site.thanks again

It might be proof. And it is indeed necessary to use males. A more scientific experiment would be to have 3 populations of snakes, each of a 1:1 gender ratio. Using younger snakes, you'd track their growth rates over an extended period of time. You can't use one snake because she might have particular characteristics that skew the results. Snake growth is a better metric than egg laying because so many untestable variables exist with females laying eggs. Also, this way doesn't give any information on males. Most males are smaller, so maybe mice are suitable for them. Now, I'm not saying you need to do that, but it's important to know the limits of any observation

I believe his point is that the results he achieves will be enough proof for himself. Not necessarily everyone else.

You're welcome

over all i think rats are healthier, being that they have plenty more protein and less fat. I mean, dogs,cats and humans can even live on an all rat diet and live. Rats exercise more (when not in a small space) then mice do. More protein means more muscle mass for our snakes. like us, when we are more muscle (not body builder muscle) human tend to be more fertile then those woman on a bigger side. though when it comes to breeding its easier to breed mice and asf ahaha they tend not to bite the bejeebus out of everything.
