Feeding Question

I am feeding Zoe today and I was wondering. . .I feed live because when the store tried forzen she wouldnt touch it and then ate live but anyway. Do I need to remove everything from Zoe's cage before feeding?

not really. sometimes I will remove the hide that the snake isn't using so the rat/mouse won't make a home out of it.

Don't move anything in the enclosure. Ball pythons are ambush hunters. They need cover to hunt from. Removing everything only puts stress on the snake and reduces the chance that it will eat.

Thanks I wasnt able to find any advice on such things anywhere!!!

I have to do that aswell. My bp isnt too bright once the rat leaves his sight. :rolleye2:
