KNOWS what he's talking about! A snake
NEEDS WHOLE PREY and
NOT cooked. You won't notice the snake is becoming ill right away, but gradually its health will get worse and worse. Its bones will become increasingly fragile as well, to the point that they won't be able to bear the snake's own weight.
My stepson tried to feed a cat a vegetarian diet a couple of years ago because he's vegan. The cat finally died.
You cannot make carnivores into vegetarians; you cannot make a snake not need what it needs nutritionally, and you shouldn't even try.

Only for you? or for the snake as well? If you care about the snake,
PLEASE listen to what we are telling you.
I'm sure you're feeling attacked at this point, and I'm sorry, but this is really important. I'm usually pretty laid-back about stuff and want people to listen rather than get defensive, so I try not to attack people. But this situation even has
me upset.
If you truly cannot stand the thought of feeding this snake what it needs because the prey "has a face," then please ask yourself, "Is this the right pet for me? If I cannot stand to meet its needs, is this the right pet for me?"
