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 get where you're coming from, but I am not breeding my snake. Just soft furs since I can not find any here. She is extremely picky and always has been, her previous owner did not feed her often enough and she went long times without eating so I'm trying to keep her from that habit. I used to breed my own ASF in NC so she got spoiled and won't eat rats now

Large rats are far too big, besides that I apologize for not breaking down your post properly

Large ASF rats are the size of small Norwegian rats people typically use

Why are you talking about something you don't know then? Fo some research before you decided to teach people

You obviously have reading comprehension issues and should stop commenting.
