    I use rainbow trout and vendace, both known to be safe. This summer I'm going catch a few perch and see if the snakes find them acceptable.
    Not to sound like I am doubting you at all but does that mean Guppies are also unsafe? They are from the same live bearing family.

    I don't mean to cross threads on this one but I am interested to see how my snakes would take to the trout gelatin. The hard part will be convincing my wife of the idea of trout jello in the freezer.

    Guppies are safe.

    Platies and guppies are actually in the same genus!!! It's weird because mollies look a lot like platies, but they are not in the same genus as the other two. I was wondering about that also, but chose not to say anything. I thought that platies were labled safe.... but I know someone came into our forums and said they had a bad expierience with platies, and maybe Stefan was just remembering that?
