    Re: Turtle pelets as snake food?

    All of the "critters" here are always fed natural, unprocessed food items. So, no I would not use or recommend the pellets.

    Re: Turtle pelets as snake food?

    LOL Stefan, you sound like my husband. :-) I was thinking about the snakes getting veggies, last weekend when I fed them minnows that had just feasted on one of their favorite things: chopped peas. It occurred to me that my snakies now also had bellies full of chopped peas. :-)

    But I agree, I would not want to feed a soley processed diet to any of the animals. You just can't replace live enzymes, vitamins and minerals, trace elements, etc with processed foods.

    Hmm. You know what would be a shocking breakthrough in the snake hobby? The discovery of a herbivorous snake.

    Could an emerald tree boa squeeze the tar out of a ficus?

    Stefan, you're being silly now. They live in trees, and they eat emeralds.
