Welcome Alan!

I've tried catfood as well. Most of the snakes seem to like it, but I'm not to keen on the amino-acids in catfood. Cats need a lot of Taurine. I dont know what the effect of 'large amounts' of this amino acid will do to the kidneys of the snakes. Thats why I decided to feed it once in a while.

I also noticed that they didn't (!) really like the fish flavors. They go crazy with beef and lamb but they turn their heads for fish...
