With Asf you need to becareful with breeding of rodents for over 12 years snakes mainly Ball pythons can get hooked on asf and not go back to rats. I have seen it many times. Asf are great for if you have picky eaters and thats about it. But man do they hurt when thy bite lol like a feral kitten lol...But i would stick with rats way easier imo.. We do both here where i live and well sell rat 5:1 over Asf.
