bit of non fatty bird meat would be good raw though like once a month or so as they'd probably come across chicks at some point in the year (like the egrets in them areas etc)

Interesting. I believe they also eat lizards, but thats not a very practical diet here in the UK. So it would be interesting to know how much mammalian food poses a health risk. I've seen the videos of the egrets on Blue Planet I think it was. I think they were red bellies were'nt they?

they would be but they would be in the same regions so would still have blacks there

a bit is fine but not often could feed reptile meat, all those excess baby tortoises need a good home lol
