Yes! GoodReptiles snake food is carefully formulated from a mix of lean muscle, organ meat, and bone, and fortified with an optimal balance of minerals and vitamins. It also includes a small amount of plant material to represent the stomach contents of whole prey. The recipe has been meticulously developed by expert veterinarians and animal nutritionists to provide snakes with complete and balanced nutrition.

Yes - it’s cleaner, safer, nutritionally consistent, and far more convenient than feeding frozen mice or rats.

Yes. Our formula is designed to mimic the nutrients of whole prey, ensuring your snake gets the protein, fat, vitamins, and minerals it needs for growth, digestion, and sustained energy. The freeze-drying process locks in nutrition without the need for preservatives.

To prepare, place the portion in a small dish or cup and soak it in hot water for 30–60 seconds. Serve warm, or reheat briefly in hot water before offering, since many snakes respond to prey that is close to body temperature.

You can offer the food with feeding tongs or place it directly in the enclosure (drop-feeding). If your snake refuses, don’t be discouraged — skipped meals are normal for most healthy adult snakes. Wait a few days and try again.

It is common for snakes to hesitate when introduced to new foods. Each snake has unique feeding habits based on species, age, season, and even mood. Refusal is not failure - it’s part of the process. With repeated exposure, most snakes will accept freeze-dried food over time.

If your snake refuses, you can try these proven transition techniques:

• Dip in egg: Lightly coat the sausage in quail or chicken egg.
  
  
• Scent with rodent: Rub the food against a thawed mouse, mouse fur, or rodent bedding.
  
  
• Broth soak: Briefly dip the sausage in chicken or rodent broth (avoid over-soaking).
  
  
• Timing: Offer at different times of day - many snakes prefer feeding at night.
  
  
• Temperature: Serve warmed to body temperature to trigger a feeding response.
  
  
• Lighting: Try dimming lights, especially for visual hunters that feel more secure in low light.
  
  

Patience is key. Keep offering, even if your snake refuses the first few times. Over time, most snakes will learn to recognize the new food as safe and acceptable.

Store the pieces in a cool, dry place, and reseal the pouch tightly after each use. Avoid high humidity, as freeze-dried pieces can soften or spoil.

If uneaten, refrigerate the rehydrated portion for up to 1–2 days. Before re-feeding, re-soak briefly in hot water and serve warmed. If the portion remains uneaten after the second attempt, discard it.

Yes. Unlike frozen rodents, freeze-dried snake food is lightweight, shelf-stable, and easy to pack, making it ideal for travel or small living spaces.
