What do you feed to a ribbon snake?

Answer 1

Ribbon snakes eat fish, frogs, toads, and sometimes rodents in the wild. I'm not sure if they eat insects, although I believe they eat earthworms too. In captivity they are generally fed mice, which may need to be scented by the natural prey (rubbing a minnow on a mouse, for example) before it is accepted.

Answer 2

Ball pythons generally eat small rodents. Mice are suitable when they are smaller and rats or gerbils when they are older. A friend of mine feeds her snake, Lucy, on large mice, and Lucy is a fairly large ball python. All snakes can have the tendency to be picky eaters, though, so don't be too alarmed if your snake refuses a meal. There are tricks to getting your snake to eat, some of which are discussed in this thread: http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_are_some_tips_for_getting_a_stubborn_ball_python_to_eat Hope that helps! :]
