Yum! They look delicious until you read the ingredients.

But seriously you have control over quality and what goes into making these. They are all natural, basically whole prey items not any different than if you fed those items directly. The only problem I see with them is messy stools since they lack any fur or feathers to help bind up the stools. The only other consideration is keeping a balance in the chicken between fatty (dark meat) and lean (light meat) and the amount of vitamins A & D3 intake from the fish livers.

As a regular routine diet then no but as you're suggesting as a balanced approach to your snakes' diet they should work well. That is if your snakes will eat them and knowing indigos that should not be a big problem.
