What's the general consciences on feeding Hognose with bait fish? (or any snake for that matter) Anyone out there doing this? If so what type are you using? I've seen several videos of people feeding fish to reluctant feeders.

I've heard that many bait fish are riddled with parasites, so I'm just curious as to anyone actually using fish for food....not so much as a primary food source.....but as a supplemental food item.

If bait fish is not a good option, what about Sardines in fresh spring water? Anyone tried this?

If you don't want to post publicly, just email me....would really like to get some opinions on this....here lately not much activity so I'll try a couple different places.
