the physiology of Indigos (ie, jaws that don't unhinge nearly as much as boids) points to prey that is longer and/or narrower than rodents.



that a good point you have Ed kinda like questioning evolution. just because its easy and convenient to feed them only mice dosent mean its right, even if it does work... like you said how many baby snakes need to be tricked into eating mice...



i also think this is an interesting topic, i went into the corn snake forum asking about feeding chicken eggs to a corn. everyone agreed that it was not a good idea or wouldnt work, but then they all start arguing and yelling at me when i tried questioning it.





one guy said eggs dont provide the nutrients a corn snake needs! i was like okay thats fine but what nutrients dose a mouse have that an egg doesnt? his reply was "well i dont know but it doesnt matter" it was almost as if they where saying "it is what it is, cant tell you why just accept it" lol it was great they got so mad at me



anyways im gonna look into that!! Ed you said you cant get any feeder snakes huh is there no such thing? maybe there should be and im gonna start it lol how that Ed want me to start breeding "feeder" snakes for ya?? i wonder if that would work
