Fishing for Garter Food!?

[infernalis]

I think Shanon wants to fillet the bluegill, and offer strips.

Shanon, I have seen snakes eat fry bluegills whole. If you are offering just the flesh, I do no foresee any problems.

Any one else???

you need to check the link (somewhere in here) on thiaminase....check the articles, theres a link for the list of thiaminase containing fish...haven't checked on bluegill, but I know catfish does contain it...also learned that one the hard way...

found it!!!! scroll down and there are 2 blue links with the list of fishes.

I looked and bluegill (Lepomus m macrochirus) don't contain thiaminase...
