I have bred mice,rats,and gerbils for my reptiles.
Now I strictly breed ASFs. They have large litters (10-15), newborn pinkies are about 2gm and can be fed to most hatchling snakes. The mothers are protective of their litters, but thats why they have long tails
The main reason I like them is the smell is WAY less than mice or rats. I raise lots during spring , summer and fall in racks in my garage but in winter I bring my future breeders inside and my wife doesn't complain about the smell anymore.
They max out at approx 100gms so if you have big snakes they may be to small.
