Also... to the cat food, I say no... it's a bad idea. If it's in a can, it's processed and it's not good for a snake to eat.

BUT. and this is the but.... if it gets to the point where he seems like he may die of starvation, and that's the last resort.... only then would I do it. The problem is that he may get hooked on the stuff and refuse to eat real food.

Good luck.... seriously!
