Bull snake food variety

Just found out my angriest bullsnake absolutely adores chicken gizzard I offered it because my garter ate less than I thought she would and I know bull snakes like poultry.
Are there any other non rodents or parts that I can start offering her to expand her food variety I rarely offer liver and boiled eggs aswell my boi also likes them but doesn’t act as voracious with the variety I’m offering aswell asking the people who offer a variety to see what their bulls favorites are

Haven’t had a bull snake yet…
My dwarf Retics love chicken hearts. I would sometimes have them leftover when cooking food for my dog’s specialty diet.

Quail chicks can be a nice prey item to try and fairly easy to get.
Frozen fish feeders like minnows can be another, but that can lead to some runny or stinky stools if they get too many. (Live fish feeders can potentially be carrying parasites and such. =P )

Otherwise there are reptilinks, little power packed sausages with things like frog meat. I haven’t tried them myself but I’ve heard some great reviews.

I do not work with Pits but I am a very firm believer in diet diversity in my collection so I can ante in a bit. Across my collection I will feed: quail (both button and Coturnix) and chicken chick, chicken hearts, gizzards, and necks, frog legs, frozen goby fish and silversides, stillborn baby snakes, geckos/anoles, quail eggs, hamsters, and various blends of ReptiLinks

International food markets are great places to find things like this, it is where I get most of my “different” feeders

I know there are pituophis keepers that offer chicken necks and other chicken parts. I personally feed mine rats, mice, and chicks. I’ve been looking for someone locally to source quail from but haven’t found anyone yet. I’m sure they would eat any of the other food items suggested in this thread. I’m also sure mine would eat me if they were physically capable. :joy:

Hahah, a good size colubrid is on my list of “someday, when I have space”
I was honestly stuck between viet blues or bulls for that choice tho. And then found a listing locally for SD Retics beforehand. So that’s where the space went.
