Thanksgiving dinner on the Ranch

[ConcinusMan]

Jeez, where the heck are you buying pinkies? $3-$4 for 3? Holy crud! if they were that high, I'd have to consider raising my own. But heck, at $0.08 let someone else have those stinky varmits in their house. Right guido?

But then, I only have one snake that would eat rodents; Jewels the milk snake; but she can handle live adult mice, or baby rats about the same size, and she doesn't eat very often. She costs me a whopping $2 a month to feed. She will eat chicken meat too. I should have thought of that. I did cook a small turkey for guests (I hate turkey) but I ate the liver myself (I love liver of any kind) and used the rest of the parts in the gravy. Next time, I'll save the heart for her.

I'm going to try that with my group. I bet they'll love it, especially the little ones. They seem up to trying almost anything!

Just a thought on the chicken meat.
It's very low in Vitamin A. A long time ago I had a small snapping turtle who I fed chicken, mainly. Developed a Vitamin A deficiency. I had to give it shots for a month.
If the chicken is part of a varied diet I guess it's not that big a deal but something to be aware of.
