Broadsheets. Broadsheet refers to the most common newspaper format, which, if you're measuring the front page, is typically around 15 inches wide to 20 or more inches long in the U.S. (sizes can vary around the world. Broadsheets are larger in some countries). Broadsheet papers are usually six columns across.
In fact, it is best not to feed your captive snakes live prey at all. Some snakes, such as Garter Snakes, Water Snakes and Green Snakes, eat prey animals such as fish, earthworms, insects or frogs, which are defenseless and cannot cause any damage to the snake.
Birds and Fish. In some cases, a snake doesn't have to worry about chasing the bird away from the nest. Snakes that are large enough to ingest a bird can easily kill the parents and then eat the eggs. Larger birds, such as chickens, can be a food source for snakes large enough to coil around the bird. Baby birds are another easy meal. Water snakes also eat a variety of fish, ranging from small minnows up to large bass, depending on the snake's size.
