I have done before, drumsticks mainly. The fat and skin should be removed.
I was told it can severly increase salmonela issues. Every now and then shouldnt be to much of a problem.
I recently saw a blackhead eating a prawn!
Cheers.

My Darwins love their chicken necks. I tend to alternate with whole animals. Sdaji is trying some of his snakes on only chicken. You can look up the old thread. He's seeing if he can raise and breed them. It will be very interesting to hear his results in a year or two.

cool i will have to try it with some of mine,what about beef has any one tryed that with there snakes as i get heaps of realy cheap meat from work and if i could use that with some of my larger pythons it would work out a lot cheaper than rats.

We give our BHP chicken necks from time to time. Is happy to eat, reguardless of what is being offered.

Feeding your carpet chicken is great,but you should remove the skin thou.Too much fat can cause issues later on in life....IMOall of mine love them too

Hi Jordan,
The only down side of feeding chicken to BHPs is the mess about 6 to 10 days later.
For some reason, it gives them the squirts.
With the peg board backing in his enclosure, cleaning may be interesting for ya.
Its a little over exposed but I realy like this pic.

Yes it is actually. But was from the chicken, not her blood. A dirty face shows how much she enjoyed it
