Most snakes are very easy to feed. You can get various frozen rodents in the pet stores as well as big living insects. Some people argue its unhuman to feed living food to snakes.

You can also get frozen snake food from different mail order companies. Keep the frozen food hygienically in the freezer. Before feeding the dead animals you have to warm them up. It can be dangerous for the snakes if you feed them frozen cold food. You can put the cold snake food in little plastic bags and put them in hot water, this way they will thaw very fast. Then feed the snake food to the snake when it is still worm.

Some people also feed living rodents. If you prefer this way of feeding just take care the snake doesn’t get hurt by their food.

Snakes don’t chew their food, they swallow their prey whole. The digestion works best if the food is still worm.
