When I lived in Japan a few years ago, we had many young kings and corns. The reptile specialist (that we were raising mice for at the zoo) taught us to use all four legs of adult mice to feed to the smaller babies when we didn't have enough pinkies to feed. You cut the deceased mice up like chicken, wings and legs, and it gives you four meals for the snakes. You don't want to do it exclusively because there is more nutrition in a whole pinky carcass than there is in just the leg meat... We used the body to feed to our larger snakes, they didn't seem to miss the legs. If we had too many, the turtles had no issues eating what was left.
Thanks.
