I'm guessing that you will keep the mass of food they each eat the same?
I refuse to condone keeping snakes (or even cats despite my hatred of them) on a vegan diet. Even if it was keeping them healthy I'd object on ethical grounds. The pain and trauma I would suffer due to disgust would in my opinion be more of a problem than whatever benefits the vegan crap was providing. Jokes aside, I'd be interested to see if it was possible with a typical snake without artificially synthesising all the necessary proteins.
Yes death to soya bean. I agree.
Are death adders prone to fatty liver disease if fed fatty food like bhp's?
Black-headed Pythons aren't usually all that fatty. You could keep a Death Adder healthy on an exclusive diet of them.
Hi Sdaji et al,
I've already fed my Diamond Python chicken legs with success, and will continue doing this as a supplement to rats, because I believe that a variable diet can only be beneficial.
When I fed the chicken leg, I cut off half the bone because I thought that long, thick thighbone may be too much to handle. However, I've since been told that the potentially sharp bone edge at the cut is likely to be more dangerous.
What does everyone think? Leave the thighbone as it is or cut it down to size?
Cheers,
Nic
