Let them eat snake: python farming an "efficient" food source

Maybe they could feed them smaller escapes pythons.

The article specifies “wild-caught” rather than farmed rodents and says the “waste protein” was served up in sausage form to snakes that had been conditioned to eat it. But yeah, still not a sustainable model on its own or one that seems likely to scale (ha!) well.

Depends on the python. Ball pythons are notoriously fussy, Burmese and reticulated pythons are not.

Sausage foods are already available for snake hobbyists- they aren’t much different in price to frozen rodents.

I love unagi don (grilled eel with rice). I reckon snake could be just as delish with the right cooking and sauce. This sounds way better than the insect gruel that was all the rage last year.

Then they should be direct marketing the rodent sausages and just skip the serpent middle -man…
