I also agree with you here Rainer, I don't believe for a second that chicks are less nutritious than rodents. Yeah, their body composition is different, but so what? My kingnakes are bigger and more mucular, with less excess body fat since they began their diet of mostly chicks. In fact, I have a large female eastern that would develop lipomas (fatty tumors) whenever her body fat level got too high, since she has been eating chicks, the benign tumors have shrunk to the point of being gone. My snakes aren't as fat, but they lay bigger clutches while still double or triple clutching as a rule. I foolishly avoided feeding chicks for decades because I had always heard that they were less nutritious, and that my snakes would get salmonella and die...nonsense. My kings have never looked or produced better.
Geez Rainer, we've agreed twice in a day, that has got to be some kind of record.
