New BP owner...Feeding question

Hello all...

Just got my new BP yesterday from a reputable shop here in Michigan...Question...She has been tub feeding for the last month or so at the shop...Should I continue to do this ??

Since she is smaller, I would a use a small container, then just put it back in her enclosure...This way she could crawl out at her leisure without handling her.

I appreciate any thoughts !

There is really no good reason to feed your snake in a seperate container or tub. BPs don't get cage aggressive from feeding inside their enclosure.

Your snake will grow quickly in the first year, and the small container you are thinking about feeding her in won't be practical for very long.

My best advice is to feed her where you keep her :gj:

And that's coming from someone who used to believe feeding in the tubs was horrible. For my bp's, I wouldn't have it any other way though it can take a bit to get used to. It's less stress on them by far.

Just feed her in the enclosure. It will be easier for you and the snake. There are zero negative reasons to feed your snake in its home enclosure aside from possible substrate ingestion, which isn't really a big deal.
