Re: Some snake questions!

Are quail a good source of food for snakes? If I could get my snake eating quail instead of hoppers(when he's big enough) it would be super cheap for me as I have a poultry incubator For $15+ shipping I could get an automatic turner, and I'm sure I could find quail eggs cheap somewhere.

Never really used quail as a main food source, i have heard of people doing so without issues though.

Re: Some snake questions!

Not much difference between quail and rodents as far as nutritional content goes. They're a good option for some species, particularly arboreal or semi-arboreal snakes that would prey on baby birds in the wild. Some picky eaters take them more easily than rodents, certainly much less expensive than anoles. Rodent Pro has everything from frozen day-old chicks through adult birds available. Not sure where you might find a steady supply of eggs though, unless you farmed them yourself.
