ASF v. Reg. Mice

Rodentpro.com has great descriptors on their mice for sale. It shows approx. how old and what weight they are at each stage.

Does anybody have any info like this on ASFs?
Are the comparable to reg. mice in size from pinkies-adults?

Also, does anybody on here feed their Corns ASFs, and do they like it as much as your BPs?

Thanks,
-Josh
 
My Cornsnakes switch between ASF's, Mice and Rats no problem. They don't seem to care one way or the other...Food is food to them I guess. ;) The only company that I am aware that sells frozen ASF's was ARS, but I don't see them on their price list anymore.

The reason why RodentPro has the descriptions is because that is how they sell their rodents. Most rodent supply companies do not follows RodentPro's specs, so comparing RodentPro's sizes to another companies is a moot point.

If it's helpful, ASF's are much larger rodents then mice. My adults are probably double the size of a comparably aged mouse.
 
I didn't mean like...exactly like RodentPro's...sorry I didn't mean to imply that...
But I am trying to loosely follow the Munson Plan...it calls for approx. 3 gram pinkies...
Are your ASF pinkies, "fuzzies" (I know the pinkies are tech. kinda fuzzy too:)) hoppers, weanlings comparable in size to the mouse versions?

Am I going to get 3 gram pinkies in a litter?
 
One of my asfs had pinks yesterday, I will weigh one when I get home tonite and see. The pinks are usually larger than a mouse pink.

I've honestly never weighed them. I never saw a point because I can judge with my eye appropriate food items for each snake. I think I fed off all the fuzzies last weekend...But I might have some sub-adults and retired breeding adults I could weigh for you when I get home from work.
