Once a 'conda eats a fish will it eat only fish after?

Ok so Ive been thinking about giving Goliath fish every now and then but the guy I got em from said once he eats a fish he wont eat anything else but fish. Anybody know if thats true?

No! Ive never heard of them being offered fish as a meal. Mainly rodents from mice-rabbits. Their hogs like retics and eat almost anything.

They eat fish at times..not like a green tho. Ive never heard or read of one sticking to just fish after eating them. Just seeing if anyone else with a yellow feeds em fish.

Thats kool but I would just like to know if they eat fish do they have a chance to just want them after? I see nothing wrong with feeding them fish if thats something they would eat in the wild. I just dont wanna do it if theres a chance he wont eat anything else.

It's a possibility that they would only want fish after getting a taste for them. You never really know how a specific snake will react to a particular food item. It would be best for you to keep feeding it rodents. If you think the chance is worth it to feed him fish here and there and them possibly getting hooked then go ahead and feed it fish. Be prepared to have a constant supply of fish in case it happens. Fish may offer other vitamins/minerals that the snake may not get from rodents but there have never been any types of adverse affects from only feeding rodents. My take...if it aint broke, don't try and fix it.

if you have it on rats keep it on it. Its hard to get them to switch, Especially if they are hooked on chicks it took me forever to switch mine over

give it a try if in fact it was true once an anaconda eats a fish it wont eat anything else there would be nothing but wild anacondas eating nothing but fish.(but maybe thats what gives the greens there massive girth) like you said in the wild they eat them along with anything else they can get there coils around and swallow. so don't see how it would get hooked on them while the whole rest of the wild pop of anacondas don't get hooked on them.

but i would love to see a vid of a wild green adult eating nothing but fish how would that look for the plow to get them banned as an injurious species

I have never offered my yellow fish, but years ago I had a green, and kids in the neighbourhood used to bring me buckets of trout in exchange for letting them see the herps.

The green loved the trout, but still ate her rats/rabbits. So did the Nile and water monitors and the gator.
