Snakes are natural hunters, and in captivity their healthiest food source are rats or mice. These can be fed to your snake either live or frozen then thawed.If you choose to offer live mice, you'll be able to more accurately replicate the snake's feeding habits in the wild.
The easiest and safest way to feed your snakes are with frozen mouse or rats which you then thaw out (f/t mice).
Most baby snakes in captivity will eat a frozen/thawed neonate mouse within 7 to 14 days after birth. When feeding a baby snake it is critical to offer it the correct sized meal, a prey item that is too large could cause the young snake to regurgitate its meal and die from the stress of doing so.
