Is it safe to buy a frozen chicken or turkey from the grocery store and warm it up and feed it to your snake?

I wouldn't recommend this. I doubt a snake would eat it, and normally a snake would get everything: bones, organs, muscle. Grocery store chicken is cleaned so it's missing a lot of vital nutrients.

You would have to feed whole prey. You can order f/t feeder chicks or quail from feeder distributors.
You can also get live chicks and turkey chicks from feed stores.

With 3 Ball Pythons I have to ask, exactly how big are your snakes or how small are turkeys and chickens in your area?
