do you recon that the rodents most people buy have been brought up on a wholesome organic diet, or a mass produced diet of processed sugars and fats?

actually my point was that humans are notoriously bad at implementing a good diet, because we go for the easy option most time

but snakes are specialists, even within a species a particular snake will specialize in its favorite prey - but, humans cannot say for sure that a diet of just mice is good for a snake, there is no scientific evidence to say that it is, the only evidence we have is that a varied diet is often more nutritious - humans can live just on McDonalds, but that doesnt mean it will be a healthy life (despite the presence of the occasional bit of salad in their burgers)
