    Feeding time location

    Hello,

    I have recently bought and keeping a BP and I am happy that my viv is set up correctly and my snake is happy, I have a question on feeding him thou.
    I am due to feed him in a couple of days but I have seen different comments on leaving him in his viv or taking him out to a new area to feed.

    If I Leave him in and feed him will he think whenever we put our hand in his viv that its feeding time and strike out at the hand because I do not want that if I can help it. I have no experience on feeding a BP so I am already a bit worried about him taking it but hope full he will.

    I am happy with the preparation off his food its just the location of him that im after advice on.

    Thank you

    There is no need to move for feeding.

    Do not remove the animal from his home. They like to eat at home and restaurants just stress them out.

    Leave in Viv, offer food before you go to bed when it's been dark and quiet.
