i used to have two identical snakes. small though. my step dad told me to feed them pieces of fish. so i did for a long time. it was so freakin fun feeding them shreds of fish at the end of a stick. haha! they would sort of stand up with their mouths open, waiting for me to put it close to their face. reminded me of how birds do that. eventually, one of them died, and i let the other go near a lake. funny little things.
