A valuable lesson about frozen foods
I purchased some bad fish.. I don't eat it had no clue until too late.
I fed a bunch of snakes tainted fish.. 
The entire Infernalis collection DEAD, one newborn dead.
Managed to save one from seizures...
pacing like a madman staring at all the others that ate from that batch of food.
Its sickening.

Re: Gutted and going out of my mind
I fed that fish to at least 40 snakes last night.
My Infernalis' were eating mice, why didn't I just feed them mice??
I thought some fish would be a treat..
this just sucks.
I threw it all in the garbage..

Re: Gutted and going out of my mind
Wal Mart - Intended for HUMAN consumption. and since no people died, it will never fly..
So far no more deaths, But I'm not taking my eyes off the snakes for another day or so.
When I cleaned out the Infernalis cage, I found six places where the snakes puked.
2 years ago I got a batch of bad Salmon, with similar tragic results.
I guess the smart money is to just spend the dough and get a farmed trout from an all organic store.
For now I guess I'm setting my guppy tank back up.

But how do you know nobody got sick from it?
Here's what you do go in to the Wal Mart complain and tell them how their tainted fish killed off your breeding stock. If you have to make a big stink about it. Then have a friend call one of your local news station and tell them about you making a seen and if it killed your snake maybe it's harmful to humans. If they do a store on it i'll bet you anything people will start coming forward saying they got sick from it and then you have a case.

Re: Gutted and going out of my mind
Further research on the topic revealed that some fish may have elevated levels of lead. Lead poisoning can cause neurological and behavioral implications if left untreated. Info on lead poisoning: Lead Poisoning-Topic Overview
I'm not sure if that helps, but lead poisoning could be a suspect. Good luck with everything.

Re: Gutted and going out of my mind
Im so sorry to hear mate, its something that should never of happened especially with fit for human consumption food.
When it rains, it pours. It sounds like your having a very bad run at the moment mate. I hope it all turns around for you in the near future.

Re: Gutted and going out of my mind
OOOOH NOOOOO!!!!  Oooooooooh mate I`m so sorry dude Oh what a terrible thing to happen Chuck`s got a point Wayne, get that crap in a bag and seek legal advice. I know it`s not about money dude but you may well be able to claim damages here. Don`t feel like it`s not worth it or Walmart is too big. Get those f***ers sued. I sued a company once, you`d be surprised how easy it goes if you`re in the right and your heads in the right place. Oh man what an awful thing to have happen

Re: Gutted and going out of my mind
oh no! what a horrible bunch of happenings! at lease you have survivors though. I know people who have lost every single snake due to a bad food source. Hope things get better.
