I've never seen a snake eating a hotdog before. Saw this guy for sale on Craigslist tonight.

I imagine that if was scented with a pinkie, you could get a hungry snake to eat it fairly easily. That said, I'm not sure that the nitrates and nitrites along with all the other "stuff" in a hot dog would not be very good for the health of the snake.

Yeah Jim, but I believe that the "stuff" in hotdogs is the only thing you have to worry about. By that time, Nitrates and Nitrites aren't even a concern. LOL!!!!

Wasn't there some kind of "snake weiner" food thing sold by T-Rex products a few years back? I seem to remember something like that....


Oh...and yes. Very weird.

I didn't think about the scenting with a pinkie. Good point.

Yes there was, but it never caught on. I've had a Hognose eat a hard boiled egg and some of my snakes have eaten chicken legs and stripes of chicken breast.

I have seen this before, it might indeed be one of those 'snake' hotdogs.. Who knows, weird thing to feed to a snake anyway. I would be worried about conservatives and added sugars and who knows what cr*p is in those things, i don't even eat them myself. Some snakes aren't that picky though, i have heard of some of them eating weird things like pig feet, chicken necks, hearts, filets, beef strips, eggs. Strangest things i've fed my snakes for me, was a fish to a retic. (Was amazed it actually ate it, even seemed to like it, that poop though :hmm:)

For some reason thinking about a snake eating a chicken wing, just makes me laugh.. Sounds so silly.

That's not a sale, that's a rescue. Why would anyone feed a snake a hot dog? I don't even eat those myself...

I have a few BHPs that will eat hotdogs, sandwich meat, etc....


Now this is odd.

Oh, I didn't post the picture of them feeding it another snake. Knew that would cause an uprise.

Why should it cause a up rise? Snakes do eat snakes as part of their natural diet. Just because we like snakes doesn't mean we can deny their need for a certain food source. King Cobras, for the most part, will only eat snakes.

I remember seeing snake sausages a while back. Didn't look like that. Didn't try any either, f/t mice are already snake sausages.

Hotdogs are usually lacking in Calcium, Vitamin D... wonder if MBD would be an issue with a diet like that.

Yes, it did actually. It was on an Australian site a few years ago. There were several sequence shots of it going down but, can't seem to find the others. I must not have saved them all.

Don't know why someone thought it would be a good idea to feed broccoli. haha.

In my case, my animals got ahold of my sandwich and hotdog by mistake. Don't ask. LoL.

i'm surprised it's going down in one piece. Knowing how mine eat i think it would be in pieces by the end....But why would you feed a hot dog to a snake?
