    Feeding
    So I've got a new BP She didn't feed last week so I've added some scenery to her tank, in the form of many large plants, I got my temp gun to check the temps and changed them accordingly so her hot side is about 92, warm side is about 85-86, ambient is 84. My question is: I'm feeding f\t can I just drop the rat in there and walk away and leave her to her business? I'm worried my presence in the room standing over her with a rat on a pair of hemostats is stressin her out and I just want to give her the opportunity to feed stress free (for the first couple feeds until she's adapted better to her new home). Does that make sense or am I just over-analyzing? So anyone that could throw me some input I would appreciate it!!!! :)

    I feed F/T to all of mine, and I just put the rat in the tub, and they take care of the rest of it.

    If your BP isn't inclined to take F/T that way, you might want to present it on tongs and do a little zombie dance with it.
