>>Due to medical reason using rodents as a food source isnt an option for me. What other foods could be used? I.e.-- anoles,snakes,quail,fish? Anyone else had to do something along these lines? What had the most success?



Are you determined to raise milks/kings, or will other species do? For example, some snake species will live on fish and/or worms just fine. Some even eat insects. So it depends on which snakes you have your heart set on.



Also, they are a bit hard to find, but one or two companies also make snake "sausages" -- processed meal packets that you thaw and feed.



And finally -- it is *possible* to feed snakes muscle meats like chicken, especially if you supplement with vitamin/mineral products and scent the meat with some acceptable prey item. However, you do have to be very careful about complete nutrition if you go this route.
