| | | | Snakes don't digest any sort of fur, regardless of what animals it comes from, fine, co****, or in between. The fur is just balled-up in the gut and makes up a larger part of the faeces than the other stuff - if you look hard you'll also find the claws of the food animals as well - made up of the same stuff as the fur. An essential part of the diet though for most mammal-eating snakes.

As the saying goes they 'breed like rabbits'  |

They also have very small litters and usually only 2 or 3 a year.
If you have some as pets and feed the babies off it's worth it, but they are not worth breeding as a food source.
