In Reply to: a question for Fred posted by clifford on August 28, 2002 at 16:20:16:
posts that at least the diamondbacks were WC. I also assume the ruber (red diamondback rattlesnake) was as well. As Fred was saying, Indigos metabolize extremely quickly which probably reduces the incidence of retaining ingested parasite. Additionally, I have fed my snakes roadkill snakes on occasion, usually after freezing, which in fact does not kill all of the possible parasites, but I have had no problems.
My biggest worry with this practice is not the parasites. It is the fact the Indigo may decide it prefers snake and starts refusing other food. In my Indigo collection, I currently have two that are already picky, one refuses rats the majority of the time and the other mice; go figure!
Anyway, that's my 2 cents.
