That is interesting... I've never heard of the fish pellets before. I have easy access to lots of fresh whole food so I've never had to worry about my snakes not getting enough nutrition from what they're eating.

I'm still trying to figure out what I want to do for fish once I move my snakes this summer. We fed the older one almost nothing but fish for over 10 years before I found this forum and realized they could eat a lot of different things. He is in a mouse-eating phase right now, but he will randomly hunger-strike for fish, so I guess I've got to figure something out before I move I'm considering buying a large quantity of minnows from the local seller who we've bought fish from for the past twenty years and shrink-wrap/freezing them since I'm pretty sure they're safe. It'd just be for Houdini, as my younger one doesn't seem to care for fish and I would rather her have a primarily pinkie/worm diet.
