    and fish intended for human consuption, whats the best kind & bestway for feeding?

    thanks
    Excellent, better than new lol...and thanks for asking

    Well...she has been eating pieces of trout, worms and once in a while a Guppie...after the surgery I brought a fishtank and put some guppies, now there must be about 50, wrong choice 3 couples and now I have too many

    I'm waiting till they grow a little bit more to feed my baby garters.

    The best way to feed them...I guess is to offer diffent kinds of food (fish, worms,etc.) avoid the force feeding thing (I'm not saying its wrong but not the best way...at least for me) If the snake don't eat the stripes or pieces of fish...try the bowl trick (use a live fish and put the stripes inside the bowl...the snake will try to catch the fish and you'll see that the snake will eat the stripes too)...adamanteus is working on the patent of the trick...lol

    Robert, I can't claim the credit for that one I'm afraid! It has been a common practice for years. I just copy other keepers' successes!

    Re: Parasites in feeder fish?

    Tanks are great. They clean well, show great and hold heat well. However, they are really heavy and not stackable. If you got the space, enjoy the tanks. I am just in the process of getting everything stackable, so I only have to go to one place to enjoy my critters.

    As for fish, I have none. My pops and brother love them. I have no interest in them.
