I completely agree. I breed my own rats and ASF. My problem is that my ASF colonies need to build back up and I have a couple hatchlings that are refusing to take rat pups. My local reptile store was also out of ASF and mice. I didn't have much choice in the matter. I bought a few mice as back up breeders. For people who do not have privately owned pet shops near them, and snakes that won't eat FT, this practice could be detrimental to the snakes. Luckily I do have enough options that I can work with but others may not.
