I have read much on here about this topic but im confused...


is it more beneficial to feed a tank live or deead mice and does agression come from feeindg one over the other?

for example my python eats dead mice. I actually bought him from petco and i read that normally snakes take a while to eat. I have had him 2 days. I tried the first day to feed him he seem interested but never striked. I then took him out put him in a hermit crab tank and he ate the dead mouse. I didnt have any trouble at all getting him to eat! So I wanna know which will make him less agressive cuz id rather not have him bute me.

Now the dreaded do you feed him inside his tahnk or in another. I dont wahim thinking everytime i poen the tank its to get food cuz then he'll bite me. My python is about a foot and a half. SBut i hear moving him is bad too cuz it causes stress. So which is better?

Are there any tips for my first time trying to handle him? I got scared cuz he made an S shape but he could just be being dumb
