Ohh okay, I get it now, lol.

We switched from ASFs because they would produce great for about 2-3 months, and then just come to a dead and complete stop. Then I'd have to euthanize and start all over again, since unfortunately I don't have the space to keep growing up replacement breeders.

Not to mention you have to grow them up for 3-4 months before the females will even start breeding, and THEN you have to grow them up even longer before they're big enough to be a substantial meal for an adult ball python.

Such a pain in my you-know-what, so I gave up.

So far our hoodeds have given us 5x the babies our ASF colonies ever did, and we've only had them for a few months!

Also I didn't like constantly being bitten by the naughty ASFs. All of my hooded rats are super tame, they all let me pick them up and move them around no problem. I love them so much more.

Anyways, I've put the new male in. A cute brown dumbo!
