Feeding Preferences

[infernalis]

It all depends on the snake

We have some that will take Tilapia or Salmon without hesitation, some that will consume unscented pinks, some that I have to rub live fish on the food, some that prefer to start with a worm, and then eat something else......

In time we learn what our pets need from us... It's how they train us

ahahaha, sheesh, I thought I was the only one who catered to every baby snake individually... especially the ones mentioned above.... LOL. They really do prefer to have that piece of worm to start! its so cute!!!

Most of mine will munch straight from the food bowl and will grab whatever they first encounter. My only fussy eaters are Xerxes (who hasn't given up on babyfood yet - needs worm-scented offerings) and J who still believes that food should be airborne in order to be suitable for consumption (he has surprised me and used the food bowl once or twice but ... tweezer feeding is his all-time fave).
