Sure a hoagie is similar to a sub, but not really. The amount and quality of meat and cheeses, and the way they are placed into the bread... and the bread... ahhhh the bread!!! "Subs" that you find here in florida are CRAP compared to a Hoagie up North.

I think the reasons ball pythons LOVE ASF's is the same reasons I love my Hoagies.... They are from where they are from! It is what their ancestors ate... it is what their family eats... if they were roaming around free in Africa, it is one of the many treats they would eat regularly.

It is their natural food. When they come across an ASF their pre installed programing screams "STRIKE"

just my 2 thoughs... can you tell I am ready for dinner?


mike i found this on a ASFR information site, DISTRIBUTION:
"widespread and locally very common throughout africa south of the sahara,excluding west africa."

are you assuming that since they are both from africa that there natural ranges overlap? not trying to be arguementive but the research i've done indicates that they are not natural prey items for BP's.

i also have wondered why they are so appealing to BP's.any thoughts ???
