eggs, insects, chicks ... ??? just wondering cause i'm sure they eat other things in the wild, don't they ?

Well ... other rodents such as rats, gerbils, jerboas and maybe some other African-native rodents.

I've seen pics of BP's eating chicks, but I imagine that they are more expensive and more difficult to eat.

They also have those man-made snake sausages which, I believe, are probably rodent by-products wrapped in a digestible membrane of some sort. Again, I've seen pics, but don't know of, and have never heard of, any one who actually uses these.

Hope this helps.

that buy food...stick with mice or rats...easier to find...

chicks are easy to get if you have a willing hatchery near you....I can get $400,000 a week probably if I wanted to(that's how many males they throw out per week-((they keep the 600,000 females)......I pay $20 per thousand.....

mice and rats are far easier.....

good luck

Chicks are usually cheaper if you buy frozen- I want to say I have seen them for a quarter each in bulk. But even live you can get them for about $1.25 or so here, and they are bigger than mice that are the same price. I am trying them next if the WC BPs don't go for rabbit kits. I do look at that beak and wonder how pleasant that is to swallow though.
Whatever you feed be sure you are willing to go with it a lot if the silly snake decides that is all they want to eat.
