I have 10 Ball pythons..how many breeder ASF's do I need?

[MeinDraco]

That's close to what I was thinking. I thought about 3 or 4 1:4 and that raises another question. what is the best breeding group ratio to have? I have seen as high as 1:7. that seams like too many. 1:4 seams like enough to manage without getting over whelmed. I can always sell any excess. Also, what do you feed your ASF's? I just ordered Mazuri 11F breeder feed from my local feed store. it will not be in until next week so I am supplementing with cat food for the higher fat content for the nursing females along with store bought feed. and do you know of anything that will grow up the feeders faster?

Thanks for the reply

Dont be surprised if females lack nutrition or dont breed well on cat food.

Too much protein and fat will cause liver problems and or death. Best get something esle asap as its cat and dog food not good for rodents

1.3 is plenty with a group. Be sureto have enough space for them

ok thanks. I will pull the cat food. I have them in a 20 gallon long aquarium now but am making a rat rack and using large black concrete tubs
