Re: The Feeding Thread
Sadly i don't have a lot of feeding shots.. most of my photos are of them doing something cute in the cages, or taking them out of photoshoots, but the above pics were "feeding photoshoots", put them on the cloth and everything, so i'll do more of those once we get a computer.

Yup. That's frozen/thawed Tilapia fillet. I buy it, dice it, and drop it in a zip-lock and i have months worth of that food item right there.
You can buy frozen silversides too, which are actually whole fish, meant for predator fish, but i don't like those as much, and neither do my snakes. 
then of course there's feeder guppies, live and whole, which sometimes i freeze and feed too, since that's by far their favorite fish... but talk about pricey.

Re: The Feeding Thread
NO! Those aren't worms. They're just bugs, no better then crickets which they can't digest!
Nightcrawlers from Walmart, chopped, or little earthworms from outside (only thing you can feed from outside really) and pinkies will complete the diet. Some people don't feed any fish... my snakes love it and it's more readily availble for me than anything else so i do.
I'd post a really good caresheet but the site that supports it is under construction.

Re: The Feeding Thread
I know you weren't, which is why i compared them to crickets. Meal worms, horned worms... they aren't actually worms. When we say worms, we're talkin':
Nightcrawlers and eathworms (nightcrawlers are earthworms, just bigger ones)
There is one kid that of WORM worm, that is the worst thing you can feed them however.
RED WRIGGLERS. AKA red, compost, or trout worms. Stay away.. stay FAR away..
