Are ASF rats better or the same as rats to feed ball pythons?
Any information will help, thank you!

They are basically the same.

Both have pros and cons, but you'll find that most will suggest you get your snake on Norway rats.

ASFs take a long time to reach their adult size and will never be too large for an adult ball python. To keep a snake satisfied, you will have to feed multiples. My live eaters all eat ASFs, and have no issue switching back and forth to mice.

Norways CAN get too large for a ball python, so unless you're producing just enough to feed your snakes, you might have to euthanize some. What's nice is that you can feed one appropriately sized rat instead of multiple ASFs.
