And some people do feed their ball pythons chicks. Though it makes their poo smell disgusting and isn't as widely available.
Point being, they eat rodents and will sometimes eat birds. That is about it.

That link is also fourteen years old. Wiki is updated constantly. Imagine the wiki page we could write.
Most questions are answered here.

Steve you are so right man, Wikipedia can be great but you need to realize that almost anyone can alter those articles your reading, and who the heck knows what sorta moron is writing those wikipedia pages?
They could totally be false and they dont go through any official fact checking!

Re: What else can we feed our BPs aside from rodents
You might also notice most of the quotes in the first article are 15 - 20 years old, hence the inconsistencies.
The longer we have them the more we learn about them, just like with any animal.

Good point, I read the date at the top (this year) not the date of the article.

Wikipedia is actually PROVEN to be more accurate than any single source commentary. I am actually reading a book on the accuracy of Wikipedia. Many college professors also agree that wikipedia is an accurate source.
It has something to do with how groups collaborate. Its pretty cool actually.

Re: What else can we feed our BPs aside from rodents
Same with any media. Pretty much anyone can publish a book about something they appear to be knowledgeable on. There was that guy who faked his whole life story and pissed off Oprah. Anyone can get an account here and start spewing information with logical but false foundations and become very influential. People are still afraid of balls ingesting substrate, yet no one seems to have ever actually had a problem with it. TV, news, and documentaries are wrong a lot. College professors, doctors, all kinds of "professionals." You have to take anything you didn't learn or prove yourself with a big grain of salt.
