Thanks a lot guys, I really appreciate it. Well, the Frog i gave to the snake once was a really tiny one, wasn’t found in the wild, just properly fed and **** in a pet store (have lived all their life in a cage, were born that way). And i just wanted to change the diet, i read everything about the monotonous diet of fish being health threatening for the Snake's life.

Anyhow since we got into the Dietary topic. Will the snake be able to take on Crickets? or Silk worms?

My brother also got some vitamin/mineral rich powder he puts in the food of the crickets, he bought 30, and grows them know. I thought the Snake might benefit from it. (He has 2 Anoles).

The Snake is yet too small to take on small mammals or am i overrating its capacity? She’s just 45 cm long. I might be able to buy like baby hamsters or something, But I’m Afraid she will get hurt or even killed by the hamster if bitten hard enough. And because i found her in the while freezing her *** off, its her nature to catch pray that’s alive. She won't eat dead corpses at all. OH! Should is stunned the hamster first?
