Re: Once a 'conda eats a fish will it eat only fish after?
Thanks for all the thoughts and info about feeding fish to a yellow and didnt mean for a fight to break out. I thought about it and if I do give em fish and he gets hooked on em its not that big of a deal. Since I live in Louisiana I can catch fish just about anywhere for free ^_^

Well that shows lack of care. Why not feed wild rabbits an wild rats from the alley while your at at it. Never feed wild anything to your pet. Store bought fish will be cleaner but i still dont recommend fish at all to annies.

Mumps said he fed his fish that the kids in his neighborhood caught so they could watch him eat them and he didnt say he had any problems with it. If eating something wild is that bad then just about all wild animals would be in trouble.

Name a pet store that sells fish big enough for a big snake like a yellow. Besides where do you think more than half of the fish you find in a store come from?

Most pre packaged fish you buy at a grocery store is where most buy their fish to feed. And those fish are FARM RAISED in controlled environments.

I found this just a few min. ago
"Ordering fish from farms is not always much better since they are also unsustainable and produce new types of diseases and contamination"

I guess you weren't reading Rich's posts? Well I'm not going to get involved in another argument that is pointless because in all honesty if you'd want to risk anything like that after knowing the possibly down sides, then I think it proves you're not really a good keeper, but that's my statement.
