 Goldfish question

Hello,

My brother has taken over care of my ribbon snake, booger, while I leave the country. I told him to feed him minnows, but it turns out he’s been feeding him comets - which I think are a kind of goldfish. I already know the problem with goldfish - ie. the vitamin B issue. Ive told him to go back to minnows and he will - but will any damage to the snakes health be fixed over time, or is it permanent? Thanks.

Ned

If you get him on vitamins to help fight sickness and get him back on his normal diet, He should be fine.
Good Luck!

It was maybe three weeks of feedings. He doesn’t eat much, so that’s probably three feedings. What kind of vitamins do I need?
