Ok so just picked up a starter colony from my local snake/rodent breeder. He sold me 3 adult females(1 already prego) and 1 male for $10.
Here are some of my questions for now.
1.At the moment i have them in a 10 gallon glass tank. Im looking for a good watering system that I can get them. Right now i have a bowl that i have to refill all the time. I was thinking of something that would have a tube that i could hook up to a large 5 gallon bucket. But i know that they like to chew alot so i would need something that they could not just tear up. Any recommendations?
2. I saw on the size charts in the sticky that they only get to be maybe max 60 grams. I know most adult snakes are over 1500 grams. Which means that the 60 gram ASF would be less than the 10% size recommendation. Should i feed only 1 at a time or 2 at a time with the time comes?
3. How fast should this colony grow? At the moment i have 4 snakes. 3 adults and 1 5 month old. At what point should i have enough to where is should be able to feed them on a normal basis and not worry about killing my supply of ASF?
Here are the pics of my colony. 1 Albino female (the prego one) and 3 brown.
