Nutrition is key! 🐍

Just like us, our scaley friends thrive on variety in their diets. Different foods contain different nutritional values, so feeding different options ensures they have a balanced diet!

🐢What are some ways you can do this? 🐢

🦎Start by understanding the species natural feeding strategy! Making sure you have the right balance in their diet is important to making sure their needs are met! How much insects should they have vs greens for example.
🦎 Research what their native prey would be in the wild. Many reptiles eat more of a variety then we give them credit for!
🦎 Learn about the nutritional content of each food item! Black soldier fly larvae have a great CA:P ratio, but don’t have as much protein as Dubia roaches, but neither have the moisture content of hornworms. This is an example of where feeding a variety helps your animal obtain the benefits of each prey type.
🦎 Find trusted places to obtain food! Some of my favorites are @dubiaroaches , @pangeareptile , @ovipost and @reptilinks !

🦎 Speaking of @reptilinks - did you know you can provide a variety to your snakes too!? Options like quail, rabbit, iguana and frog are very easy to obtain and feed thanks to reptilinks! Did you know according to a study done, it was found that a boa constrictors wild diet is made up of mostly birds? Meanwhile some king snakes and milk snakes were found to have largely reptilian diets? I personally love using reptilinks with my animals!
