I very much wanted to get hold of some frozen silversides for Lily, since she seems to be a picky, fish-only snake and I want some extra variety. Can anyone conclusively tell me what they are known as in the UK? And whther you know of any suppliers?
I have found various references stating that they are whitebait (which are also ambiguous), sprat, herring and smelt, and on the thiaminase list herring and smelt both have ok and not ok entries (dependant on area) and sprat are not on there at all.
