Those threads seem to contain a lot of misleading information. Chicks make great snake food, especially for arboreal or semi-arboreal species who would naturally eat only birds, or other reptiles. I have not done it yet, but I intend on using day old chicks as part of my Morelia bredli's diet, she is currently a bit too small. Varying the diet of your BP is not a bad idea, mixing in chicks shoult not hurt if its willing to take them.
