Fish fillets staple diet?

[Spankenstyne]

There are a few mentions on the interwebs that cooking for 5 mins @ 80C will destroy thiaminase. Might be something I'll try with some smaller whole frozen fish I can find at the store... Might just make a mess too I dunno

I have always heard snakes cannot digest cooked meat.

That's incorrect. It's actually easier for them to digest cooked meat. Keep in mind I am talking about simply placing fillet in a pan, cover it in water and simmer on very low heat for few minutes. What this does is allow some of the mercury and PCB's (or other contaminants) to leach out of the meat. Of course, this also destroys any worm eggs or larvae that might be present.
