I've had good results feeding these to my baby garter snakes. There are no worries about getting to the store to get a feeder every few days, and unlike most feeder fish these don't have thiaminase: http://www.petsmart.com/product/inde...uctId=11271607 - just thaw and warm (but don't cook!) the little bit you need to feed every 3-4 days.
Not to go off topic, but I was under the impression silversides contained thiaminase. Are these different somehow?

True "silversides" apparently do not, the problem is that other types of fish are mislabeled as silversides - or silversides are mislabeled as other fish. There's an excellent discussion about them and which ones are safe to feed at: http://www.thamnophis.com/forum/husb...lversides.html
