Prefers fish over worms?

[Snaky]

I include worms in the diet, it's just one of the things I give as a variation of the food. But I thought they were more nutricious, thanks for clearing it up.

I keep worms for mine. I have had real good luck with scenting pinkies with worms when I have had trouble with scenting with fish. I like to give mine a variety...fish, rodents, worms.

Just as well that you don't since worms that are in ground that contains chicken manure will possibly have a high salmonella count.

Try scenting earthworms with fish. Or something else you could do, if you have room. Get a freshwater fish tank going. Set it up, let it cycle and all that. Get some baby trout/bass and stick them in there (I personally would recommend trout because bass can have sharp spines). Gut-load (feed) the fish earthworms and then your snake will be getting the nutrients of both!

Wow, I really have to start reading dates on what I reply to!

Heh.
I ranger reading this when I was going back thru old stuff- it left me with the impression that worms were junk food and low in nutrition.
Never stop learning.

Okay so my T.s. fitchi prefers to eat fish over worms. I was wondering if this would be a problem in the long run. She was eating bass, trout, and the fish from my fishtank (swordtails, guppies etc). She really seemed to prefer eating the trout and bass over the tank fish so I was feeding those alot over the summer and fall. I tried feeding worms and slugs and such and she didn't like them. Is it okay to feed fish as long as she's getting supplimented with vitamins or should I try to get her to eat worms or cut up some other type of meat ? If I need to try some other type of meat what does everyone suggest? I don't think I'm up to trying pinky mice yet.
Thanks,

I know it's old but I thought I should mention it anyway. I wouldn't feed them Bass. Bass are at or near the top of the food chain in most waters. This means that they are very high in heavy metals and contaminants. They aren't even safe for people to eat if you ask me. Unless you live in the arctic, wild fish are going to have mercury. Bass especially. While one meal won't kill you, feeding on that stuff constantly will eventually result in mercury poisoning.

Heh.

Then you got the wrong impression.
