My garters are fed as follows:

Also, never feed garters fish that has been frozen/thawed, and do not boil or cook fish prior to feeding. This will destroy much of the nutritional content of the meat.

So it’s rare the you feed your snake salmon or tilapia? I mean fresh caught anything is hard to come by without any expense attached.
The local super market taunts fresh fish but is really flash frozen the shipped to the consumer.

That's a funny thing about public forums, as our education and opinions change, the past is there to haunt us.

I too have said things long ago, cast in stone forever to be referenced and pointed out later.

Tilapia and Salmon are very good garter food.

I had to troll back to find where this quote originated, and I'm sure rosies are out now (no longer fed) I know I ceased to use them a while back.

TY Wayne for the clarity. I guess what she meant to say was watch very closely for freezer burn. As that is a collection point for ammonia. Right?

No what it means is that her views have changed along the way.

She had only been a member for 2 months or less at the time that post was made.

When I first joined, I was feeding goldfish and rosies myself, Now I know that it would have killed my fish if I had continued doing so.

However, I do throw away any freezer burned fish, just because it looks unappealing to me, so I would not feed something that nasty to something as precious to me as my snakes.

I have made some posts in the past I am less than proud of as well.

Yes informed is the key to learning and sooo ... No frozen fish?

[infernalis]

YES frozen fish, most all of us feed frozen Tilapia, Salmon or Trout on a regular basis.

I sure hope it's good for them.

Ok, good then. What I got from the earlier post, with the comment;

“Also, never feed garters fish that has been frozen/thawed, and do not boil or cook fish prior to feeding. This will destroy much of the nutritional content of the meat.”

Just threw me.

It did me too, I'm sure when she gets home from work and reads this, she will have a comment or two.

Hi Shannon (waves)

I don't feed my garters any fish .Unless they are babies to get them started on pinks.I don't see the point.
