Its nothing like eating a hamburger. Unless we're talking a burger laced with e. coli . Its not the nutritional content thats the issue, read closer...its thiaminase. there is no arguable reason to feed a something a toxic food when other options are available. The guy who bred my garters starts them on worms, and switchs to mice as soon as theyll take them. My male was born in july 07 and after 10-12 worm meals with me, has just taken a cut up pinkie tonight. Mice are a complete food item and IMO, there isnt any reason to supliment with fish, worms salamander ect...
In closing, DONT FEED THEM GOLDFISH....theyre snakes not oscars.
