Corn snakes apparently do very well on them.
They do have a Facebook group if you want to ask the owner or other customers questions: https://www.facebook.com/groups/TheLinkSide/

I can see how these could be useful for hognose hatchlings, as they make tiny ones out of frog meat.

I have been using ReptiLinks for about three years now. I feed them to my BHP, bredli, GTP, hognose, and occasionally my GBKs. And I just picked up a couple new species this weekend that I will also try these on once they settle in.
All in all I like them. I have a variety of different types; frog, guinea fowl, quail, quail/frog, rabbit, iguana, megablend... Might have one or two others, cannot recall off the top of my head... For species that are not normally rodent feeders in the wild I feel these are a preferable food source as it more closely mimics what they would be eating. And gram for gram I feel they have better nutrition as well and so I have to feed less frequently.
Some animals can be difficult to get feeding, I have this problem with my GBKs actually as they seem to imprint harder than balls on a food item, but for those that are enthusiastic eaters or are not finicky you should have no problems. And I have had some balls that will take these as well, though I do not feed them links on the regular (and again, it is the ones that have such a strong feed response that they would literally eat a rat that was still frozen).
If you have easy access to them then I would suggest at least trying them on some of your animals for a while and seeing how they work for you.

Yeah i was going to give it a shot since yesterday was feeding day for the little booger Pat but the reptile shop doesnt carry them anymore I'll probably have to order a small sample to try on the little boas and Pat. I dont think a 100g link is going to make a dent in Caesar or the big boas. Would be like a tic tac to them.

Has anybody had any luck feeding these to Ball pythons? I was just curious.

You might be surprised. I feed 100g links to my 2m BHP and she does fine with them.

As I noted in my earlier post, I have a couple balls that will take them but it is the ones that are of the bite first/think later mindset. If you have a ball like that then you might have success, but if you have a ball that requires you do the 5 minute zombie rat dance then odds are it will not take them

Not sure how big your BHPs are or what their equivalent in rat weight is but Caesar usually eats about 360ish gram rat. Rosey gets around a 275-300 gram rat and Vicky gets a 250 gram rat. I'll see though as i probably will put in a small order of 25 gram rabbit and quail and chicken ones for the little boas and some quail mini links for Pat. Might do a single order of the 100 gram rabbit and quail to see how big they are. Worst case, I'm sure Vicky can eat them.

Re: Reptilinks!!!???
Not to railroad the thread but, has anyone tried the ASF scent to get a picky eater on f/t? I’ve always fed live but have been trying the last few months to make the switch for convienence. Hes still healthy and I’m fine to feed live if this goes on much longer but wanted to know if anyone has had some success. I’d say the last time I offered f/t he showed the most interest so I feel like I’m close.

I'm curious why one would choose to feed these rather than whole prey animals. The cost per pound is 3-4 times that of frozen feeders purchased in bulk.
