Snake sausages are skinned and gutted rodents. the idea being that the hair and intestines don't do anything for a snake.

Intestines are how a snake gets vitamin B12 so I wouldn't rely on processed food as a staple.

Actually, I believe it is ground up rodent with vitamins and minerals added and then packed into a suasage type skin. The idea was that it would be a complete nutritional meal for your snakes and you could control how much they ate. If you wanted your snake to eat two, you just didn't cut them apart. After the first one, the snake had no choice but to eat the second (or third). It was like suasage links for snakes. I haven't seen them advertised in a while, so they may not be available anymore.

Yeah, why mess with a classic, right?

tai_pan - snakes DO have a choice! If a snake doesn't want to eat the second thing, it WON'T. Ugh, I know the pain all too well when trying to chain feed my snakes rats. They'd swallow till they got to the rat, then they'd just vomit the whole thing up. Or they'd flip out so I'd cut the string tying the mouse to the rat, and then they'd just swallow the mouse. ARG. lol.


Actually, if snakes did eat those sausages, it could be pretty convenient. But how many snakes would accept them easily?

Please keep this in mind:

The company that produces these 'snake sausages' will NOT print their ingredients. They claim the recipe is 'proprietary'. Do you really want to feed your snakes something that you will never know the ingredients to?

Fur, bones, innards... all that is put to use within a snake's system. Stick with what you know.
