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.
Purchase mice or rats. In the wild, most snakes eat mice, rats, or another small rodent. These animals meet all of snakes' nutritional needs, so an all-mice or all-rat diet is completely sufficient to keep your snake healthy and happy. Make sure the mice were fed properly and not treated with chemicals. 2  If you don't want to feed your snake mice or rats, you can feed it a combination of grubs, insects, fish and other foods that together meet the snake's full range of nutritional needs.
