After watching videos of cribos eating fish and raw chicken, I thought I'd try to feed my young bullsnake some raw chicken, gently warmed up, not cooked. He was hesitant, but eventually took the piece of meat from my tongs and swallowed right down. Almost gently! No strike. No coiling. Great for varying his diet. My question is: What do you experienced bullsnake keepers/breeders feed your snakes other than mice and rats? Looking for ideas. I'm thinking I might try some chicken organ meat at some point. Beef heart? Will they take small fish, or fish meat?
 
I've fed my bulls an assortment, ranging from the usual rats and mice to chicks and quail. I get a fairly wide range of responses, where some are more reluctant to accept non-rodents while others just slurp anything and everything right down.
 
I don't have bull snakes, but I do feed week-old chickens to my snakes. Whole birds are probably better than just muscle or organ meat, but I do supplement with frozen/ thawed chicken wings sometimes.
