In the fish raising industry, we commonly gut-load worms for feeding fish. We generally use powdered foods like spirulina algae, astaxanthin, protein powders, etc. Some of these would actually turn the worm the color of the food. It works very well when trying to get different foods into animals that might not normally get much. In the wild, they always get the stomach contents of their prey, which is often very high quality nutrition in itself. I see no reason why this wouldn't work well with snakes. I'm currently feeding lots of live guppies and swordtails to my garters and I always fill the fish's stomach with a high quality food before feeding the fish to the snakes.
