I was making up my frozen food order and these were really cheap(no pun intended) so i got some.

They're perfectly suitable for adult corns or BCI as an occasional treat.

They are not good as a stable diet, they are more like a treat. i give my boas, and older corns one every few months. I ALWAYS take the beak and feet off, but I usually feed the feet to one of my T's; they seem to love them

I must admit, I don't debeak or defeet the ones I feed to my snakes... nobody'd debeak 'em in the wild.

sorry but had to laugh, they are normally used for finicky eaters to get them going etc and as a treat, as for cutting beaks etc it should be no problem for the snake as long as it is the right size prey or either smaller then it can take, but i dont see the problem as above really (obviously types quicker then me) they wouldnt be taken off in the wild

They are cheap, cheaper than eggs even, because they are hatchling roosters and, as such, cannot lay eggs so they are surplus and virtually worthless to the industry.
