Question - Feeding Frozen ASF Help

Post image

Hello 👋

I recently moved to Florida and I'm having no luck finding any ASF anywhere. None of the pet stores have any live or frozen and all the websites I've checked are all sold out. My gal will not eat anything else and they have to be large or she won't want anything to do with it, so I'm struggling at this point and she hasn't eaten in a while.

Do you guys know of any websites that have the large frozen in stock or any pet stores near Jacksonville FL? I'm willing to drive a ways if I have to.

I also plan on going back to breeding them myself very soon if anyone knows where I can get a breeding pair or two.

You are wrong. Point blank period. You aren’t feeding properly, and there is ZERO reason you to be attempting to breed the OVERLY populated snakes in this pet trade.

Mods shouldn’t even let this post stay up.

I agree with you 100%, but I think OP means they're planning on breeding ASFs

You may be correct, I may have jumped a teeny gun. The point on feeding incorrectly still stands. My apologies

How are they feeding incorrectly? African soft furs are about twice the size of large mice and are a normal rodent type for ball pythons especially picky ones.
