Uncommon Snake Foods

[Cazador]

Hi all,
I have two questions. 1) What are some of the more unusual foods that you routinely feed your garter snakes, and 2) what are the strangest foods that your snakes have ever eaten? Even unusual types of fish and rodents count. Please mention whether the food is part of their regular diet or just an occasional supplement. This should be interesting .

Some years ago I gave my Thamnophis, amongst others, chicken liver and spleen from cows. In those years it was part of their regular food. They got it once every two weeks or so.

Those are great! Keep 'em coming.

Hatchling budgie, once. Wildcaught house mice and voles on occasion, depending on their size.

I haven't really fed mine anything unusual....I do have a pic I found on the internet of a garter eating a roadkilled bird.....

Sweet!!! Post it or post a link.

Sometimes (twice a year) I feed mine some chicken or cow heart cutted in bite-sized stripes I have asserted that my similis () loved them much more than the concinnus and the sirtalis.

BEEF! It's what's for dinner.

I had a female T sirtalis "Florida Blue" that was so huge that she was hard to keep fed.

A bait store near me carries frozen CHUBS. These are huge minnows. She loved them. I also fed her frozen SHAD from the same bait store.

Here's the pic of the odd lunch for the garter....roadkilled bird.
