to add some input, I personally find varying the diet of my large collection easy. I manage it by simply thawing out a large portion of whatever's on the menu, and if it's fish, chop it up and feed everyone the same thing on one day, then the next feeding, something else. I make scenting cups in case some of the snakes don't like what I am feeding so that I can still convince them to eat it!!! that has worked out pretty well for me!
