Yours is a cool story Justin; especially how you were able to nurse your snake back to 100% after the infection. I am no expert but I can't imagine any nutritional downside to rodents over retilian prey except the caloric density and the attendant potential for obesity. Not only are mice more convinent, they don't pose the risk of parasite infection that lizards do, espcially if one can get the animal to accept f/t mice.
Anyway, you and Robert below give me hope and enthusiam for my plan. Many thanks to the both of you for sharing your experince.
Bill
