Has any one heard of someone using hot dogs, or hot dog chunks to feet their snake??? A while back i thought i had heard something like, it wont harm them, and gives them still alot of nutrients.. what do you think...

Absolutly not!!! That is not healthy at all... Too many preservatives, and salts... They would NEVER eat a hotdog in the wild, so why is it alright to feed it to them now? I doubt they would even take it.

Thats kind of what I thought, I assumed the preservatives and such would be a risk. I'm actually trying to find that link I saw it in.. id really like to re-read what they said about it. I thought it was used in the context of force feeding, but I can't remember anymore.

I would assume the original person was talking about those "snake sausages", not actual hot dogs.....at least I hope they were. I try not to even let my kids eat hot dogs!

Much as I hate to say it - Michelle probably did read that about hot dogs (*that does not mean I am recommending it, lol), and it was likely in reference to forcefeeding nonfeeding adults. Regardless of what they may have in them, I can see that they would probably slide in alot easier than a rat; and, as such, there are those that would suggest using them. I'd use the rat, personally, but I am pretty darned good at forcefeeding, lol.

If iguanas can eat pizza, why not give a BP a hot dog?


The above was meant strictly as a joke. The statement was mine, and mine alone; and should not reflect poorly on this site, its owner, or the membership. Harald Moore and KBI Herpetoculture deny any responsibility - monetary, moral, or other - in the event that somebody should have a negative experience associated with feeding their reptiles "people food". Everybody knows that snakes eat animals, and (near as I can tell) hot dogs are not, nor do they bear any resemblance to, animals. It was only a joke.
