The ASF's I bought are rather small, and so far I have been handling them with no bites. I won't be handling them much anyway, once they are old enough to breed. I'm not able to sex them yet, with no obvious bulges on the males. But my son will come over to sex them, since he raised them in his rodent colonies a few years ago. It was spooky going into his rodent shed back then, with 2,000 eyes staring at you. LOL.

When I went to buy the ASF's I assumed the breeder had a dozen or so to choose from, but she brought out 6 or 8 large containers with 20 or 30 young in each. She said she bought a colony at Repticon about a year or so ago, thinking she would feed the offspring to her ball pythons, but didn't have the heart to do it. So now she is overrun, and was hoping I'd buy all the young. Yikes!
