I have read that some zoos will feed their large pythons chicken breast or chicken pieces
I asked ppl if they ever have and some ppl said they have indeed fed theirs store brought chicken and never had a problem ...now I know it doesn’t provide maybe some nutrients completely like a rat or rabbit would but can it be a potentially life threatening situation as a pet ? Can’t u get some powdered supplements for extra support?? And I’m talking about a store brought chicken with bones and non gmo ? Please get back to me
