    Re: Trout mixture!!!

    With all the variables (especially genetics) I think it's hard to blame the Jello mix. Sounds to me like it might have been something put in the jello. For example, if a Product of China fish was used that might taint the whole batch. It will be interesting to see what some of the other members think. I know that a few of them use the jello mixture.
    I've always wondered what kind of freezer life that mixture has.

    Re: Trout mixture!!!

    Tanks Steve ! Your the first to give me your impression and show me another aspect of what can be the damn problem...

    2 generation of thamnophis Atratus are feed only with jellow and the years born babies don't seems to had the locomation problem only time will tell .THis is a lot of fish ,Sirtalis sirtalis eat fish in wild but not as much as other sub species I dont know if it's too much fish ?


    Over the year my friend told me Tilapia is not good as much as trout.He
    didn't experience this problem since he only trout.

    The species of garter snake ?
    The type of fish use?
    Over dose vitamin?
    lack of vitamins?
    Gelatine Knox ??I think its mainly proteine??
    Many more.

    I still believe in the Jellow and ii give it another chance to it because I know many pros had success with it.They switch from rodents to jellow not for nothing!At least this is what they told me.

    Everywhere I caught my eastern garter snake their main food sources is the same :earth worms,toads,frogs and a tiny part of fish (some eat slugs but ...)
    At some place only worms and slugs are available and they still give bigger ,healthier litter .
    I expect my Dark eastern female to be gravid from mid-January to April -May
    And until April only worms and sometime minows will be available ,as soon as I can frogs and toads will be on the menu.
    I should take my female out of hibernation in early april but Im afraid to lose my male during this time.Another thing that playing against me!
    Another failure is not an option!!!!!

    Re: Trout mixture!!!

    wow...sorry to hear that. I used it for a bit.....but only the jello. like Steve mentioned, it could be something in the fish... where did you get them? I have been using strictly salmon lately...and rodents. I have had some problems with using only tilapia with babies....they get the weird twisting motion going on....had the same problem a few years ago before I found out catfish were on the bad list!
