You do not need any supplements for rodent eating snakes.

A breeder that I spoke to told me that if a BP is eating baby rats with underdeveloped bones, they have a huge calcium deficiency - and it is a good idea to offer a calcium supplment in addition to the rodent - same with baby mice.

If this were true, then how would baby snakes ever get enough calcium to grow into bigger snakes? What about snakes that stay small to begin with and only ever eat baby rodents? I think it MAY be less than optimal to feed multiple baby prey to a snake that is capable of eating adult rodents....but why would you do that anyhow? If a snake is meant to eat baby rodents, then baby rodents should be sufficient.
