yum yum.

De-shelling seems easiest when you use the small fork that is provided.
Once removed a quick dip in the garlic butter and enjoy.

Hey, would those escargots be okay to feed? They usually come frozen anyways. Or is it a similar deal to the whole frog legs thing?

Seem like an expensive meal for a garter snake.

[RedSidedSPR]

Yeah, really.

Im looking to add more variety to my snakes' diet because I really want to avoid feeding live foods - even if it is just a worm. It's a personal choice and paying more to add some variety is one of the consequences I guess. So could it work?

[BUSHSNAKE]

i say stick to your efforts of offering a varied diet. i think the method is underestimated.

[RedSidedSPR]

Yup I'm pro-variety.

Finding escargots has been such a mission. The only frozen ones are already pre-soaked in butter so I went for canned ones which are already pre-cooked. I realize they probably aren't very nutritionally rich but wanted to try anyways. One girl was hesitant at first but was eager to have more after taking her first piece. The other one wouldn't have anything to do with it.

Be careful about caned stuff. They usually add lots of sodium. Too much sodium could cause kidney failure.
