    I do have Frozen Salmon fillets... How would you go after preparing something like this for a snake?

    I have never used fillet. So I don't really know. First you need to make sure it's safe... Unsalted, all that... Just cut it up. Inreally don't know. Don't go by me.

    For now, I would go to PetsMart, or PetCo, and go to the fish stuff. The little freezer will have big flat bag of frozen Sallys SilverSides. They work great, I feed them whole to my adult and chop them for my babies! It's not better than fillet, but it's all I can recommend.

    They die fast in the freezer, snakehill. I freeze frogs too. It's a treat for my snakes, and they die within 5 minutes.

    I know but I love frogs and toads! By the way Chantel. I noticed that you have 12 snakes but only 8 names are listed.

    I know! It's just that I've never had snakes that were frog eaters!

    No different than mice.

    I like frogs too. I'd love to keep some. But if it's for my snakes...

    I've never used frogs, i'm just saying i would. I can't find any even if i did want to. Too dry here
