What can you feed household snakes?

Question

We have a lil snake in a pickle jar. We don't know what fruits and veggies we can feed Fredrick. He's so cute! what can we feed him?

Answer 1

You can feed him pinkies which are bought on the internet. They are frozen dead baby mice with no fur. MMmmm!

Answer 2

Ok.... I dont even know where to start on people like you. You do not take a wild animal and keep it. You moron! Release the WILD animal where you found it. I can almost guarantee that snake will DIE. Especially in a pickle jar. If your going to be a stupid ignorant dummy and take a wild animal from his habitat at least take care of him the right way. You need a aquarium. Snakes are not easy pets. They are high mantinance. I suggest you take your sorry but and release him, think of the snake in this, not you.

Answer 3

Snakes won't eat fruit and veggies, If you can't get any pinkie mice, you can feed him insects like large crickets.

Answer 4

Are you serious? Snakes don't eat fruits and veggies. You need to let the snake go where you got it because you're going to kill it. If it's four inches long, it's not a snake that eats pinky mice. It's more likely a worm eater, but I can't say without knowing what kind it is. And a pickle jar is a horrible place to keep a snake.

Answer 5

first off you need to put him in a cage so he has more room ,you can find those at pet smart.well it depends on what type he is and how old he is .i have two of my own,(one is 5, the other is4)i feed them two rat pups every month(or so)you should ask your local vet about what to feed it

Answer 6

1) Snakes don't eat plants.

2) You're dumb as h**l and need to put that critter back where you found it before it dies a long, slow death in your care while you squeal about how cute he is.

Answer 7

research what kind of snake he is on the internet and then buy the food it tells you they eat.  if it is mice, the pet store sells them from pinkies to huge rats, frozen or live.  gOOd luck!

Answer 8

1) Unless it's a 20 gallon pickle jar it's probably going to quickly become way too small.

2) Snakes do NOT eat fruits and veggies. 99.999999% of them are obligated carnivores like cats and ferrets.

3) It would help greatly if you told us what kind of a snake it is in order to tell you what to feed it. Judging by the fact it fit in a pickle jar it probably needs to be fed pinkies. You'll have to get them from the local pet store or online.

Answer 9

LET IT GO!!!

I am a firm believer that you only take in a wild caught snake if you can give it at the least a life as good as what it had in the wild. Which in this case you are not doing. that would be like me adopting you, and making you live in my hall closet. You are abusing that snake. If it were a dog you would be arrested, but unfortunately, snakes don't mean as much to law enforcement... Do the right thing.
