Snake Sausage?

I have a hard enough time getting a couple of mine to eat F/T...there is no way they would even look twice at a Snausage :colbert:

I don't have any 1st hand experience, but about 7 years ago my best friend took his daughter to a community class on reptile ownership. They actually took the class twice because my friend had a snake in college and it died suddenly on him and he was still really worried it was something he did. (It was before I met him, dunno.) Anyways the class was otherwise good, promoted the "beginner three" and had a session on each reptile. During the cornsnake section they talked about the sausage, but my friend was told there was a brand that was 100% rodent(s) - just that it was ground bones, internals, and flesh in a more "kid friendly form." We all thought it was weird at the time and sorta missed the point about education about reptiles and prey. :confuzd:

/She ended up thinking snakes where "creepy" and geckos "would fall apart" and has been caring for her beardie since then.

Who is this "we" you're referring to?

Just generalizing. Don't worry, I know bp.netters don't make the list of irresponsible pet owners. :) It just upsets me to see so many morbidly obese dogs out there, and I have met a few people who overfeed their snakes.

I tried youtubing this... WOW nothing

Same here!

one of the pythons books i got years ago, showed this as a viable option for snakes, never looked into it though. it is hard and expensive enough to get live food around here, last thing i need is snakes that only eat snausages.

Omg i love that stuff. Snake sausage with my bacon and eggs in the morning. Thats how a REAL herper starts their day!

The main problem I see with this is that it's not a food source a snake would take without tease feeding and it would fall apart. I feed my garter pinkies from Gourmet Rodents that you can purchase at PEtCo

My gator would probably scarf them down. Then again, he would pretty much eat anything anyway :rolleyes:
