don't feed your reptiles fish they are full of disease and are unhealthy for your reptile especially feeder fish they are kept in crowded tanks with dead and sick fish and they are barely fed. They are full of parasites and can get your animal sick to the point of dieing, they sell frozen mice and rats if you don't want live ones, milksnakes can't eat rats that are that big anyway and the live rats can bite at your snake and hurt them so it is allover better to have frozen ones anyway.

Milk snakes will not recognize fish as food. They are primarily hunters of mice and rats, usually living on farms around grain bins and milk barns (hence the name "milk snake") where mice and rats are common. They hunt by scent and mice smell altogether different from fish. Also, as some have stated already, a diet of fish can be very unhealthy for a snake, unless it's a water snake or ribbon snake, and even then you'd need to vary its diet some.
If you are squeamish about feeding mice then a milk snake may not be the snake for you. You won't do the snake any good by feeding it a diet that its body can't fully use.

Never ever ever heard of a milk eating fish thats just mest up. They eat mice, lizards, and snakes in the wild. Like someone said if your not prepared to feed your pet you shouldnt have it. Try a garter snake they sometimes eat fish.

Look for something called Snake Sausages. It's an alternative to rats, and no im not kidding. I would prefer you feed him rats though. They don't have to be live. You can buy frozen and defrost them.

No. Never. Do you eat meat? An animal's diet is what it is. No snakes are vegeterian, they all eat live or once living food. Deal with it or buy a cow.

It's not "mest up." It's their diet. If you don't like it, don't get it. Simple.

No. If you don't like what an animal eats, perhaps it is not the pet for you.
