Scientifically Formulated
Dr. Dierenfeld is an internationally recognized comparative animal nutritionist with over 30 years of experience working with a huge range of species. She is one of very few people globally who has published scientific papers on snake nutrition.
As we developed this product, a very consistent theme emerged upon talking to dozens of exotic animal vets: many farm-raised rodents commonly fed to snakes are too high in fat, not enough protein, and low in ash (minerals). Many snakes end up overweight or obese because of long-term feeding on these rodents. Reptile owners perceive rodents as “natural,” but these commercially produced feeder animals are nutritionally misaligned with what ideal snake health requires.
Main Ingredients: Beef muscle, organ meat (liver, heart, kidney, tripe), bone, egg, chia seeds — plus a complete vitamin and mineral blend. Freeze-dried to lock in nutrition without preservatives.
Serving Size: Good Snake Food can be offered as a 1:1 solution for feeder rodents.
Our Good Snake Food is formulated to approximate wild rodents - with lean muscle, organs, and bones in the right proportions—further fortified with all essential 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 whole prey nutrition.
Our formulation is intentionally optimized based on this feedback — targeting nutrients, proportions, and balance that vets recognize as more supportive of long-term reptile health.
