I currently have two colonies of ASF a 1.2 and a 1.3. Their ok, wife hates them, dont smell really at all if I clean them twice a week, my issue is that the majority of my balls are adult or sub adult females that eat rats, or if I feed ASFs, full grown ones. So I have about 20 med mouse sized ASFs and a bunch of babies. So I have to wait a few more months till their large enough for my females or feed like 4 of them to my males. But I have had no issues switching between mice, ASFs and rats with any of the BPs. I guess what I was trying to say is when your snakes are larger, ASFs dont make much sense, I will likely start breeding some Rats as well.
