    Anyone used ReptiLinks?
    I used to have many large pythons years ago, Retics, Burms, etc. But that was a long time ago.
    I have recently decided to get back into having herps, but on a much smaller scale.
    Has anyone been feeding their BP's ReptiLinks? I was impressed with their videos, showing lizards and snakes eating them.

    I haven't tried them, but there is a long interview with the guys behind them. IIRC HerpNation Radio? Listened to it a few months ago. Quite informative. He makes a good case for the links, esp. for adjusted nutritional ratios when feeding some of the more difficult species, which don't feed much on rodents in the wild.

    Worth a listen.

    This question pops up pretty regularly and the general consensus seems to be: great for animals with a variable diet, not so much for those that need to feed on whole prey items (such as snakes).

    IIRC they guarantee that reptiles will eat them - except for ball pythons. Also I'm not sure that I'd want to get a ball python that was eating them, in case it was stuck on them, as they're not as cheap to purchase as getting rodents locally.

    I did pick up a few of the rabbit links to offer periodically to my young female boas and my young retics. I have an adult female boa on jumbo rats and she will not touch a rabbit, so I'm getting the younger snakes that will eventually get massive used to eating rabbit-scented prey items while they're young, growing, and hungry. Jumbo rats are very high in fat, plus a 1# rabbit is half the price of a jumbo rat, so I want my larger snakes on rabbits if possible.

    My blue tongue skink loves them, and I'm very happy with the quality and service the company provides. I've never tried feeding them to my BPs, though.
