    Re: seafood for bps...can it work??

    Very few captive snakes will eat fish......garters and ribbons are the only two common captive snakes that I can think of....i think it still depends on the type of garter or ribbon....some are found in environments where fish are not easy to come by...

    I have actually seen a cottommouth eat a catfish before...pretty cool stuff...Fish eaters generally come from a 'marsh' or 'waters edge' type environment...fish is all they really have to eat in that location so they are adapted to eating fish.

    .....that is the one time that I can really beat myself for not having a camera....it was swimming across a canal with the catfish squirming in its mouth....that would have been one wicked photo...

    Yes, there are definitely some snakes that eat fish. My answer was just directed towards ball pythons in particular.

    I was cooking croker the other day, and as soon as I started gutting them.... bo went bannanas... he stuck a third of his body out of his hide, and suspended it for 5 minutes... I had the thought too
    That's the way it goes when you have no arms to blow your nose.
