Hypothesis "The microbiome has no impact on digestive efficiency in obligate carnivores". We tested the hypothesis using African House Snakes. One group was dosed with antibiotics and the control was dosed with water. Intestinal samples were collected and characterized from both groups and were significantly different, but digestive efficiency was not. Therefore, we accepted our hypothesis.
