Hey Ben....I got this idea after hearing a friend in Australia tell me.... he had seen BHPs "hunting" for small fish and Yabbies in a shallow creek bed.... in Queensland...several years ago.

I've been feeding fish to my BHPs about once or twice a month...for the last year...at least.

In fact, All my snakes will eat the fish. The Carpets LOVE them.

To large (or simply too many) Rodents can be a death sentence for a BHP...especially females....as they don't eat a lot of rodents in the wild.
I feel they should be fed a varied diet of things like fish, chicken, other reptiles, etc.....after all.....that's what they eat.

Cheers,
D.
