    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Hey Guys,

Good to see a little expansion of indigo interest into new zones.

I've changed www.indigosnakes.com a bit so now this forum, along with the K-Snake forum is linked to the site. Hopefully it will increase traffic for both.

Supplements....

A discussion about diet and supplementation:


i have a couple fishy questions. i know that some of you include fish as an occasional/regular addition to the couperi diet. i've also read that some of you use tuna "juice" to entice the young to get feeding. have any of you used cod liver oil? i resorted to smearing some cod liver oil on the face of a f/t rat for my female today (she refused an adult mouse yesterday, a first)-- and she took it without hesitation. my second question is, have any of you noticed that your couperi are more successful at shedding with fish in their diet? just some thoughts i'd like some advice on.


I've definitely noticed that they shed better with fish included in their diet.


in years past, I have gotten stubbon babies started with cod liver oil, but have tried it recently with no luck. It really suprises me b/c nothing smells fishier than cod liver oil! I have thought about using it as a suppliment for shedding, but, the stuff is LOADED with vitamin A...which worried me a bit. Not sure if that could have any adverse effects.


(me)I was thinking of trying this when feeding indigo F/T mice to see if it has a good effect. The oil supplement caplets you can get for human consumption contain little or no vitamin A. Carlson has a pretty clean product. These oil supplements are taken by people to help with many things, like retaining cognitive abilities (epa and dha are used by the brain, they're even added into infant formulas), helping avoid plaque build up in circulatory system, skin health etc. etc. I think just small amounts would be all thats necessary. I don't know. They eat fish from time to time in nature, so I don't think there's any danger to them from it. May be interesting to try on an intermittent schedule to see if any positive results are possible. Any thoughts, opinions, input etc. please. Trying to get a little more activity here. Yes, I'm guilty of going to the other place (you all know where I'm talking about). I'm going there because there's just a lot more activity. Trying to help migrate a little more activity here.
