That was a very cool pic! I've heard that they may eat carrion. As far as captive diet, my Manitoba redsided (T.s.parietalis) used to love frog legs. I could get them in the seafood section of the grocery store. They were WAY too big, so I just cut it up and froze it and gave him some every now and then. Figure they eat lots of amphibians in the wild, so it'd be a good addition, and as far as I know you don't have the problems with B1 deficiency like you do with fish. He also used to like chicken breast meat. (Yeh, I experimented A LOT with him since he was my first snake....LOL).
