    Re: Mice & Worms or just mice?

    I'd keep the worms in there. That sort of quickly digested food is more a part of the snake's natural diet than things like mice. I usually feed my adult several nightcrawlers, part of a pinky (the young one eats the legs and liver, he gets the rest) and maybe a fish every three days or so. The poo is a bit messier and you have to feed them more often, but I think he's more active with this diet than when I give him large rodent-only meals. Nothing wrong with doing just rodents though.

    Re: Mice & Worms or just mice?

    My snakes all take mice, salmon, silversides, live fish and worms.
    I alternate bewteen all food items, depending on funds availability and preferences at the time. My snakes think (at least I think) that worms are their mac 'n cheese dinner. Comfort food. Not extremely nutritious or filling but satisfying for the moment. It is a distraction/diversion until the more substantial stuff is presented. All are good and usually appreciated.
