    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

    I believe that is a red bellied pine snake, used to catch them all the time when I was a kid
