    Re: is it ok to feed my garters chicken liver?

    Hormones and steroids are both metabolized and/or excreted without trouble. The liver isn't so much a filter as it is an organ where metabolites and other large compounds are broken down to components that can be excreted, generally by the urinary system. I'm sure some toxins would accumulate, but this can happen anywhere in the body, from the bones to the fat or integument.
