    Is Pollan safe?

    I bought some frozen Pollan and i'm wondering if it safe for Garry to eat.It's in the Salmonidae family so does that mean it's Thiaminase free?

    I am by no means am a fish expert and may be way off base with my answer but here goes.

    Your Pollan belong to the genus Coregonus which does show up on the Thiaminase containing list of fish.
    Without any evidence showing they are safe and the fact that there are other fish available that we know are safe I would say no to feeding it to your snake.
    Just my opinion.

    They are not just snakes. They're garter snakes.

    I think that is a good decision. Right or wrong the snakes are no worse off.
