I saw that they also showed a Ball and said "This killer could easily over power a small child and kill it."

I about craped my pants.

That show owes me a TV. I spit beer all over it when they said that.

Don't rats have a higher muscle to fat content than mice? Meaning that there would be more nutrients to extract.

im not 100% sure but i beleive that rats are better cuz they have bigger bones and thus more calcium....with calcium ur snake will get big, but stay brittle... which is also why powerfeeding is a big problem

I feed both rats, asf and mice. I think they are all good feeders so long as they themselves have been on a good diet and not just dog food. That's my opinion. I prefer feeding asf.

Like I have said before. I am pretty new to this thing, and honestly. I don't have the foggiest idea what ASF stands for.
