i highly doubt that a small amount for a short period would have any affect on the snakes.

many breeders use dog food as a staple diet and many stay away from it completely.

ive heard about the red dye many times over so i shy away from it but i also have never read any scientific reports about its effects either. their is all natural dog foods as well so maybe you could just pick up a small bag when needed.
