Mack,

IMHO, I wouldnt feed any of my snakes W/C snakes. They can harbor all kinds of nasty parasites and viruses/bacteria. This can in turn be passed on to your snakes. In addition, if your snakes are eating F/T mice no problems, and you feed them snakes, they may get a taste for snakes and refuse mice. Just my .$02.

:Hello. This spring, I plan on collecting some redbellies, earth, and brown snakes for my scarlet kings, (I'm hoping to breed them). I know that it is acceptable to feed them small snakes, (I have done it before, with no ill affects) but I was wondering if it would be safe to offer a redbelly or brown every once in a while to my black milk. I wasn't sure if it would be safe or not, because black milks are from costa rica, and brown and redbellied snakes are native to the states. Would it matter? I wanted to make sure before I did anything stupid and killed my black milk. Thanks,

:-Mack
