Hey All!,
Jacky's post on the the Vegetarian Snake got me thinking...Herps can sometimes eat things that we would never have thought they would so I wanted to hear your stories on strange things that your herps have eaten...Im hoping well get some good ones!


I know its not healthy but my younger brothers Iguana Napolean stole a garlic breadstick right off of the table once he wasnt very big so he looked sooo funny trying to carry it!

Well apart from mice, rats, and rabbits, occasionally back in the day a gerbil or a hamster that needed to be done away with was tossed to a few lucky snakes, apart from odd meals, nothing has really eaten anything out of the ordinary around here, being that a lot of the stuff here is snakes, and not too many lizards, and if so they are usually temporary. I do know of a few people who feed their snakes some pretty, hmm out of the usual prey items though, for captive raised animals anyways, road kill animals I believe, but its all checked out and stuff beforehand, I believe they freeze it for a time in order to kill any parasites and whatever else might be there. He has fed lets see raccoons, sunks, believe even a beaver, among other things.

I have two bearded dragons that seem to like me pretty much. They haven't really "eaten" me, but try when ever they can. I can say that there has been some of my blood on the floor.
I have heard of one person's snake eating his fuzzy heat pad and other weird things like that.

Hmm, my tiger salamander, Tiger, has eaten frogs, salamanders, fish, mice, snakes, snails, crayfish, and even flowers.

lol, he's about a foot long, but its all stomach! They were baby garter snakes though, and the largest mouse he;s eaten was a hopper. He's swallowed salamanders that were nearly as big as he is though, so he really must have a large stomach.

Weirdest thing for me was when my snake started to eat itself. My female kenyan sandboa must have finished the rodent while her tail was right behind the meal. Lucky I checked on her when she had reached about halfway to her cloaca.

Iguanas are known to consumer some pretty weird things. I have heard of swallowed coins, rubber bands, and a latex glove!
The funniest was a friend from an other forum whose ig swallowed a pair of her panties.
