Snakes not eating well

[Sssssnakey]

We had another baby die last night.

Three of the remaining four babies ate a guppy last night (cheer) but I'm going to try wiggling the guppy in the face of the last snake this morning in hopes it will eat. I'm also going to head to the pet store and buy more worms and maybe even go to the grocery store and get some trout to cut up.

Last time I tried worms they wouldn't even look at them. I think they thought they were pets. I had found some really skinny night crawlers in my front flower bed and put them in with them. The previous time I had cut up night crawlers and they wouldn't look at them let alone eat them. They seem to be really picky.

I've also noticed that they don't seem to have very good eye sight. When they're going after their guppies they don't seem to really see them that well. They'll strike at places the fish aren't even in and haven't been in. Weird.

Are there liquid vitamins I could give them or something?

The one that hadn't eaten ate one guppy yesterday but refused more when I tried again later and again today. I'll try again later today with it.

Last night one of the babies ate two guppies and a chunk of worm. That is the most I've ever seen one of them eat. The other two ate one guppy so they're eating everyday now. I think they're getting better.

Sammy gobbled down two goldfish today so she seems to be liking the heating pad.

No goldfish!!! .... not a 'safe' food source.

Second that! NO goldfish!

Oh no. Will it kill her?

So can Sammy (the mom) eat any fish? She seems to really enjoy hunting.

Not from one, or even a few feedings, but over time it may be fatal.

NO GOLD FISH ITS "the snake thattl bite back in the insides gold fish"

[Sssssnakey]

So can an adult snake eat any live fish?

[Stefan-A]

Yes, but does it need to eat live fish?

[Sssssnakey]

I just thought that since she seems to like hunting rather than going after frozen and warmed pinkies that fish would be a safer hunting choice than a live pinky.
