I have a low tolerence for dumb questions. Why would some one in thier right mind even consider feeding a frog to a Snake???

Let them do it, then 2 weeks later he can post and say "After I fed my snake the frog it died."

Myabe im an *******, but oh well. :rofl:

Death in 2 weeks huh? You seem pretty sure.

Myabe you tried it?

I don't understand these posts. Myabe I have a low tolerance for people who chime in for no reason. It would make perfect sense if the thread was entitled "Hey, come be a jerk to me for no reason."

Whatever.

I vote for not safe.

Nope, Never tried it.

And go to hell. :)

I have a low tolerance for people who make this an unsafe place to ask a simple question. :mad:

Frogs and other amphibians tend to have somewhat pseudo toxic stuff coming from their skin. Perhaps this would be benign in the case of a particular species, but i'm not sure it's worth it.

Plus, frogs are cold blooded. Your snake is programmed to desire eating warm blooded fuzzy things. It might be okay (?) but i personally wouldn't (and i wouldn't expect the snake to take it either way).

There are snakes out there that eat frogs and small lizards. Just not ball pythons. ;)

touche.

Lots of good points. Environmental pollutant sponges, cold blooded, potentially toxic skin, parasite infested, not the BP's natural diet - all do it for me. I'm convinced. I wish all you level-headed people would respond to MY threads (bathing with snakes and kissing them, in particular!). :rofl:

I'm still curious, however, how this question came up. Was it a philosophical pondering, or did you catch a frog in a jar and wonder what to do with it?

If you want to give your BP some dietary variety, try gerbils. Then you can ask how to get the BP off of gerbils before you go broke. :D

you breed the lil buggers... they are just as, if not more promiscuous then mice/rats. Just try finding someone willing to feed their snake gerbils if you ever need to sell your snakes.

From what I understand, they are not as "fruitful," let's say. But at least, they don't devour their young. ;)

Then its a good thing when your were asking questions about flea bombs, and boas sheds, and boa eye problems that someone with more tolerance, and the knowledge you were after didn't consider your questions dumb.

And where would you be if someone had just said you know what thats just dumb. Let him fea bomb the house with the snakes in it and when he comes back in two weeks saying "my snakes died" then they'll know.

Yea maybe.. But I don't find it funny. In the future you might want to remember that you were asking "dumb" questions yourself in the not so distant past and that had our mentality been as "survival of the fittest" as yours was here it might have cost you the lives of your pets.

So in short if your post don't help out in a way that is what we admire in thread that is asking a question best to leave the teaching to someone that can.
