Not really, a adult asf infact is not small, they can almost double their size after breed. All my balls eat an adult asf once every ten days and they grow really well.

Why do you need to wait to get bedding? Tearing up paper would be a pain in the a$$. Can't wait to see your Water Monitors. How big do they get? You got me interested now

I'm getting a pair, unsexed (its tricky to get sexed monitors) they should be under 2 feet each. Mature females are 4-5 feet an males can be well over 6-7.
I already paid for my bedding, 4.50 per 8feet sq, just waiting for the farmer to haul it down here lol.

Re: ASF's (African Soft Fur)
I'm still moving to Oklahoma, why do you ask? I need to pay for CITES for my animals anyway, and by August these guys will still be small enough to include in my shipment of reptiles that are coming with me, so other then box fees, I'm not paying anything additional by getting them now. My friend in the states will have enclosures waiting for me.

Re: ASF's (African Soft Fur)
I see. I was hoping nothing had happened with your plans, thats all. I figured more animals meant you were staying put.
Wow, awesome to think of having a pair of those guys!

Re: ASF's (African Soft Fur)
Its a hell of a choice though, they are pretty costly to feed. Even as babies.
