Other things to feed your snake?

Don't let them gorge on the fish and you should be fine.
I will suggest you get over your problem with the worms as worm as a very good food source. I know it's gross and all but your snakes deserve the benefits of worms in their diet.
Just my opinion.

For me it isn't the ick factor, I just feel so bad cutting up those desperate, squirming, live animals. I did it years ago when feeding a baby bird and it was just too much, ended up freezing them solid and cutting them up after. I am also suspicious of anything like that from Walmart, they aren't selling them as food so God only knows where they are getting them and what they are being fed.

Walmart gets their night crawlers from DMF Bait Co. I also buy from DMF and have never had any issues with the worms.

Yeah well I called the hardware store in town and they only had red wigglers, but he told me about the little gas station down the street that carries night crawlers (small towns are awesome!). They will get some nightcrawlers in on Friday and I will buy some. Not making any promises regarding a repeat, but we will try them and see how it goes. I also get my new albino flame on Friday so maybe it can be a little garter welcome/celebration party worm feast.
