no way, idk if we hav tilapa around here, u sure its safe for the garters?

Jame'sll tell ya trout, I'LL tell ya tilapa.
It's very high in protein, B1, and very low in fat.
Also, in my experience, cheaper by the pound. *Around $4 a pound here.*
And if you REALLY need to switch mama, buy a small feeder goldfish, freeze it, then cut it in half and smear the guys on the fish piece you're going to feed to the snake. I will GUARANTEE it will work EVERY TIME.

100% sure. It's very VERY low in thiaminase and my friend, who runs a fish store, uses it for his aquatic turtles and fish because of the nutrient content.
