Hello all,

I received a Thamnophis elegans vagrans 2 weeks ago and have a question on feeding. The snake seems to eat everything I put in front of it!

He or she is 32" long and lives in a 20 long aquarium. It's typical diet is approximatley 12 goldfish a week and 3 to 4 fuzzy mice a week.

Is this adequate or should I feed it more?

Also, by including the mice in the diet, does that eliminate the need for supplements.

Thank you in advance......Bob
