^This is what I feed mine. The ingredients say: Fish, water. I've been feeding them for about 2 months(as long as I've had him)and have had no trouble. I know other members(not sure who) feed these same brand as well, also with no issues...To my knowledge. My snake, personally, loves them


Off subject....But I've gotta know, do you like Static-X? Is that where you got your name from?

Thanks! I will pick up a package tonight. and sorry that's not my reasoning, it's just a username I've been using for many years haha originally it was xStaticStacia because I wanted my name in it but eventually I just shortened it to xStatic

I bought those when the babies were small, but then stopped feeding them after I heard the scary fish causing seizures stories (which makes sense since it is a suspected neuro-toxin "Sodium tripolyphosphate, or STPP, is a suspected neurotoxin according to the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health’s (NIOSH) Registry of Toxic Effects of Chemical Substances.). I believe those silversides say China on the label right? If I am remembering correctly they did.

I am calling both suppliers tomorrow to ask (I hope the ClearSprings Trout Farm doesn't use it).

Maybe this was already posted but here is an interesting flier on the dangers of this chemical and seafood: http://documents.foodandwaterwatch.org/doc/stpp.pdf
