It was a fresh hit, not worried about it, it's from an area that's pretty safe and most people around there don't use any sort of chemicals.

A lot of people are like this. I've been feeding all sorts of various things to my herps for years with no ill effects, if I see a fresh squirrel, no way am I going to let it sit on the side of the road and rot. Clean it off, freeze it 2 weeks to be clear of parasites and there we go!

Re: My 2 pet snakes oh man.
I've only known one other person to do that with wild animals. His animals grew up on it and seemed fine. He also only got the prey items from what died on his property or that he trapped down in Texas on his property. I still wouldn't do it myself though.

Re: My 2 pet snakes oh man.
Now that I know how to spot the parasites in minnows, I do net from my creek and feed them to my snakes.
Chomper feeds from my property, but just like I do with my dogs, I kick carcasses to the side and don't let my animals eat them.

Re: My 2 pet snakes oh man.
Why is this millinix banned? Just for saying he picks up road kill? Not that I would do that or anything like it.

Re: My 2 pet snakes oh man.
Shmoges - there was a lot of comment deleted by wayne so as not to cause offence.
