ahh! feeder comets. I would highly recommend switching your food source immediately. Feeding you snake comets is dangerous to his health due to them containing thiaminase, which blocks vitamin b1 absorption. A continued diet of goldfish will eventually spell your snake's death. There are many safe fish out there that do not contain thiaminase. Guppies, if you must feed live, or silversides, which you can buy frozen and thaw them out. You can also go to your grocery store and get a filet of salmon, trout, or tilapia, cut it into strips and freeze it. Rotating nightcrawlers and rodents into the diet would also be beneficial, although not necessary for his survival.
