Actually, if you break it down to the most basic components, the names of which I don't even know, but on a chemical level, I'm sure you could make a perfectly healthy slurry of stuff that had no animal protein in it at all.

Infuse rat shaped tofu and abracadabra, you have a healthy vegan food for your snake.

Getting them to eat it is another matter entirely though here as well I have no doubt many would accept the ratfu in lieu of ratpoo.
