Snakes are fed whole prey and therefore dietary problems are relatively uncommon other than in fish eating snakes, such as garter and dice snakes. These snakes, in captivity, have been fed on a variety of frozen white fish. Freezing not only decreases the amount of vitamins readily available, but may also, in certain situations, increase the amount of thiaminase activity.
