food sources for african species
Hey... Just posting to sort of "compare" notes.
What all does everyone feed their savannahs and black/white throats?
with my adults, i feed rodents, mealworms (in larger quantities) Just wondering what else is readily available and just as benificial.
on the side, i feed eggs (rarely) ground turkey, smelts (frozen full fish) sometimes chicken/turkey pieces (all lean)
what does everyone else feed?

feeding albigs
You can also feed them European brown garden snails (Helix aspersa), which I do on a weekly basis - and they love them; in Africa they eat the Giant African snail, Achatina fulica - both high in calcium. Also roadkill reptiles, and even offer green bananas to your V. exanthematicus and strawberries to your albigularis as supplements.
good luck,
markb

Ok, so we've got the diet down. next is how often?
I usually do every third day for any large rodent, in between il throw them the others (insects, turkey, fish)
Sometimes rotate the rodents, and give them something else.
everyone else?
