While cute as heck, they are a bag of pure devil, as described by David. I bred them for years and while having a use. Some wild snakes take to them. They proved over time to be a royal pain in the bum and far too expensive to keep.
While having numerous nipples(20) I believe, they did not raise up many pups. I found that surprising.

While most individuals did a lot of bluffing, a few were demons. Again, as a prey item, it did not work out and for many reasons.
If you want to raise and breed SF's, go for it, its a real fun lesson of what not to do. hahahahahahahahaha

A friend would feed his Crots SF's and while the snakes loved them the SF's kicked the crap out of the snakes. They fought bit chewed and chewed somemore until they were swallowed and digested. They were epic battles.
