Snake Snacks?????

Just wondering.....

Does anyone feed their corns anything besides mice, chichks, etc? I'm asking because (as silly as this seems) I was sitting on the couch next to the terrarium when hubby brought me over two hot dogs for dinner. My corn came out within seconds and began to anxiously flick his tongue and run his body against the glass where I was sitting. It was as if he was trying to say "that smells good...gimme some!" We had a laugh over it, but can you really give a corn something like that? Not a whole hot dog...maybe just a piece? I'd be interested in knowing if anyone gives an occasional "oddball treat".....and if it's safe. Thanks!
 
I wouldn't give any animal human food. Period. Not even a dog, let alone a snake. Do you know whats inside human food? Heck, i'm not even sure why i'm eating it.

Do snakes even taste what they eat anyway? I hope not for them :D

Anyway, i've learned from many snakedealers it's best to just feed 1 type of animal to them. Otherwise they may refuse everything else but their favorite food and simply starve if you don't give it. It's a snake, and i feel it's best to treat it like a snake.
 
Hi!
I'm not saying I WOULD give the snake a piece of hot dog...I was just looking to see if anyone outside the norm and if so what and whether it was safe or not. Just curious...that's all! :eatpointe
 
I had a slider turtle who loved beef super noodles and cooked ham! But I'd never feed my snake anything other than mice in case he got a taste for it as Jicin said and wouldn't eat anything else :) Would be interesting to hear if anyone else does, though..
 
No! do not give the snake hot dogs...sakes are sensitive creatures when it comes to cemicals and stuff. you can never be sure what human food includes...so my advice in no....

hugs sara
 
LOL! I think you are misunderstanding me...I never said I was going to give the snake hot dogs! Perhaps I should rephrase...they make dog treats and cat treats...even treats for various types of rodents, but are there any treats that are available for snakes? Just wondering, that's all!
 
LOL Rolph...I'm a hot dog addict! But ONLY if they're beef franks! And honestly, unles you grow it or kill it yourself, alot of what we eat isn't made for human consumpation! LOL!

To Lil Corn...I honestly don't thing you can compare a snake to a dog in the sense of eating...some dogs are on BARF diets (Bones And Raw Food) while others only get canned, and some only get dry. Dogs also have treats msde for them.

The question is not trying to compare two different species' feeding habits - you can't truely compare a snake to a dog, (and you have to admit some dogs will eat ANYTHING!) but if there was anything outside of mice made for snakes. That's all I really wanted to know.
