They do love to fish, don't they.

That's so funny! They aren't very good at it!

[TheBeansprout]

lol. No, they're not very good at it, but when someone finally catches one, she'll go running (as much as snakes can run) around the habitat almost to say 'I did it! I did it!"

That is so cute! Do they ever bite each other by accident?

That running is more "I've got it and you can't have it"

Hi GarterGeek, I've only seen them bite each other once by accident and they quickly let go and go back to fishing. F.U.H. has bitten herself before thinking she was food. Now that was amusing. lol

Hi Steve, LOLOL! That too!

goldfish!!!

those are a big no-no! they are thiaminase laden and a junk feeder. Avoid using these at all costs.

But I must say I do love it when a snake catches a fish and runs across the tank with it!

Yes, and some(very few) people smoke their entire lives and live to be old.
Still, I don't think I'm going to risk smoking. The odds are not in my favor.
The odds are not in the snakes favor when it comes to goldfish/minnows or other fish containing thiaminase and once it has done it's damage there is not much that can be done to save the snake.
I know you were not implying that goldfish were OK to feed. I'm glad your snakes lived that long and you got to enjoy them.

I'm only reacting to what might be misconstrued by your statement. Many people come to this sight as visitors and may only read a small amount of info. contained here. Thiaminase is a real problem out there since pet shops repeatedly sell goldfish/rosy reds to people to feed their garters.
I was one of those people who bought them and can thank the members of this forum for enlightening me.

I, by no means meant to get on a bandwagon but I have witnessed snakes die from thiaminase. I don't think any snake owner should have to see what it does.
