    Re: diet vs. growth rate

    Just wanted to keep you guys posted on how things are going. The were split up into 3 groups, one on a worm diet, one on a minnow diet, and one alternating diet. I have been feeding them every 3rd day as well as taking weight and length measurements frequently. They have all eaten about 5 times now.. It's still too soon to evaluate the data but I can say that the snakes on the worm diet have been eating more than those fed fish.
