Black snakes eating CATFOOD

[$NaKe PiMp]

check out what this little pigglet snake chows down on,and hasnt refused any sort of meat ever

 

[shell477]

is that healthy for the snake? do they get all their nutritional requirements? just curious

 

[$NaKe PiMp]

it was just a one off to see if it would take it,but actually it would be fine offered as something for a change.
The funny thing is after eating a big chunk it goes and eats the little bits that fall off ,every little morsal

I knew there was a reason they're my favourite snake in the whole world!

Quirky lil thing!

 

[shell477]

mmm nom nom nom!

 

[Laghairt]

Amazing.

 

[Miss_Stripey]

weird! some people have all the trouble in the world trying to get things to eat rats and that thing is a garbage disposal unit. Makes me wonder what they would eat in the wild if they came across something already dead? Or is because hes used to dead things and eats what ever hes given at tucker time?

I offered a yearling RBB a turtle pallet once, and it gobbled it down no probs at all.

Also try (if you havent already) feeder fish in their waterbowls...its soooo cool to watch.

Those leaves look like dope leaves.. Does the snakes eat weed as well? lol

[$NaKe PiMp]

[cement]

Oh christ, they stink at the best at the best of times, I can only imagine cleaning up after eating that!

I've also had GTS "fishing" for goldfish in an outdoor pond on a call out. It was stuck in the netting after eating a couple and had to cut it out.

i reckon thats a great idea with these species,possibly most pseudechis have similar tendencies,a prawn is very strong scent.
im going to try prawns with wild injured black snakes i have in care see how quickly they like that.
