Whatever dude, you're acting like a kid.

If you want to share your information, then do so. But dont come on the board and say something in an attempt to lure people and make them curious only to boost ego.

E. g. guttata
this is crappy advertisement, I don't think you have crap. If we have to come strait out and ask you to tell us the secret (obvioulsy asking what you use isn't good enough) then there is nothing special about it. This thread blowas chunks . Have fun with your BS project.

Who in their right mind would say they are going to try it...without even knowing what it is? I am with everyone else...I do not agree with your approach. Either tell us, or drop it. We are not horses. You can't dangle a carrot in front of us and just expect us to follow.

Hello Vinman. I for one am very interested to know what you are feeding your corns if not rodents. If it is so much cheaper and produces good results then I am interested. The only thing I can think of that it could be is chicks or maybe quail.

Anyways, I hold you do end up share the information.

Vinman, I've been supportive of you in the past when everyone else has been giving you sh**, so I think you need to not embarass me here and make me look like I was supporting a looney. Just tell us what it is you do.

I've just caught this thread, and I for one am curious what you are feeding you snakes, but this can be a bit tedious if all you want is attention.

I thought this forum was for discussion and information and not being pathetic.

Smile you go it

Like Isaid just dont give me crap this works Ok heres the raw deal I ran out of money a few years back I went broke. My snakes didn't eat for over two weeks . I had to make a choice eather sell off my snakes and all my work goes into somebody else is hands or find a cheap food source. So I thought to myselfe well what would a corn eat in the wild that I could buy cheep . well I know down south they call corns, red chicken snakes. and what I found out from farmers that corns grow big around the chicken coop. so I went to the store and they had chicken necks for 39 cents a pound so I bought a package to try. I said to myself well in the neck you got tiny bones, meat and fat just like a mouse . I said there is a lot of diseases from raw ckicken so I boiled it well let me tell you 3/4 fo my animals ate it half took it right away. So i said you need variety I said to myself turkey is to big for a corn to eat but what about a turkey chick I'm sure a 4 foot corn or bigger would be able to eat a chick.There I go back to the market and buy some turkey only 99 cents a pound alot more money but still cheep. I boiled it and there agin some ate it and to my suprise some of the corns that did not eat chicken ate the turkey. But I wanted more variety. there was no organ meat in there diet so I tried chicken and turkey hearts, gizzards, and once a month livers but still not all ate the stuff so I fed the stubborn snakes ever 2 weeks a mouse ,befor the mouse I would offer chicken & turkey. well after a few months ever adult and 9/10 of my juves. ate it. I wanted more variety so I siad dam, the big pythons eat pig .Not corns could you just think of a corn with a pickrey in it NO WAY ! but what the hell I tryed it I cut a pork chop I had in the frezzer and boiled it in the broth of the ckicken necks they ate it and it didn't kill them. so I bought fresh pork sholder for 89 cents a pound cut it into strips. and had a nice pork bone for pea soup for me. THE third time I went to feed pork I did not use any broth just water but would they eat it .Some ate it with out a bird sent. So here I go with my new food source boiled Pork, chicken and turkey. the cleanest food that I could feed my snakes boiling kills all the germs and parasites.I use all differnt parts of the chicken just remember remove the big chunks of fat .the same goes for pork but use fresh pork not smoked or cured. Turkey is way more lean and I can use everthing but the neck the bones are to big for corns. You can cut the meat any size you want to to meet the needs of your snake . if anybody trys this please get in touch with me. thank you and good luck. Vinny
