And ASFs are way easier to breed than rats, by the way. Have you tried, or are you just repeating what you've read?
No need to try to flip this around into something it isn't I'm here to learn too.

You're the first handful of people that I've heard say great things about ASF. I have a lot of friends in the hobby and some even have... *gasp* ASF colonies (or had them). No one has ever told me they are easy to keep. I haven't bred ASF because I don't have anything I feed eating them. They aren't readily available in my area (or many areas) either. Reptiles aren't as prolific where I live. The community is much smaller than many parts of the US. I've only seen a few colonies in person and they weren't local. Rats are easy to keep, breed, and are almost universally available in all areas. That's why they are my preference.

How did you get into ASF rats?
