Ive been breeding them and feeding them for years. They are the most nutritious for Ball feeders. Do not believe the nonsense about them getting stuck on them. I give and sell some to my local Snake hobbyists and when Im low we all feed whatever else is available. When people talk about this its more the fact they have a picky eater. Yes Balls can be picky, but they do not get stuck on ASF’s. Also people feed their snakes way more than they would ever eat in their natural environment. This makes it easy for them to be picky. Every person Ive helped that had a problem feeder or a Mouser did as Ive told them and offered once a month until the Snake ate a rat... Some snakes took in about 2 months, some 4 and a Albino I gave to a friend took in 8 months. Those snakes were all at a slim but healthy weight already I want to add. Id never hold food from a emaciated or sick snake.
So go ahead and get some Asf’s. Its a plus you dont have to breed them because they take forever to grow. Im in the process of feeding all mine off as we speak. I wanted to use those for the first 3 years of their lives because of their nutritional value, now that they are older Im switching to ordering Frozen Norways... my females grew wonderfully on them and so did my baby Burm for 6 months. Im glad I had the opportunity to feed them. I think it paid off health wise even though It cost me so much breeding for only 2-3 snakes. Good Luck.
