Alright..don't laugh at me just yet ...but ever since I got my BP and started feeding her, I wondered if I could condition her to know that it's feeding time. I feed her in a separate box, not in her normal enclosure. I started to notice that her behavior would instantly change the moment she was placed in the box. At first, she would stick her head straight up and watch my every move until I dropped the mouse in, to which she would strike immediately. Today, I noticed a different behavior. Instead of sticking her head up, awaiting her prey, she instantly moved to the striking position. No movement whatsoever, until the mouse was dropped in. Again, instantly struck. So I began to believe that she had been conditioned to know that the box = feeding time. I then considered that it wasn't necessarily the box...but the lingering smell of past prey that may still be present in the box. Chances are, if the box smells like mice...then she's relating the smell to feeding time, rather than the box itself.
Has anybody else noticed something along these lines with their BP or are you aware of any actual experiments that have already been conducted regarding snakes and classical conditioning?

I think my next step is going to be switching the box next week and seeing if I still get a similar reaction from her. I may just be crazy...but I think it would be interesting to test out.
