Re: Did I end up getting a female pastel from the tampa show?
You know, it really seems to me that the Original Poster had good intentions; read-up on caresheets, and was just a little misinformed somewhere about the whole moving-to-feed thing. It may be somethig that works for some people.
I just want to let you know, OP, that none of my snakes are aggressive as a result of being fed in their cages. It takes a few moments for it to "set i" that a prey item is there; at first honestly, most of them recoil when the lid's being removed off their home. But they see that rat dropped in there, and strike. None of my 5 snakes will strike at me as I go to remove them from their cage or clean something in there.

Can't ask for anything more in a guy. All I try and do also is share my experiences and thoughts when they are asked and I to can be appreciative of the fact that they may not work for others however I put them out there for others to consider.
You are not only a humble human but a humble herper as well with the passion to share your knowledge, experience, and ideas in manor that your word is conveyed precisely and exactly as you intend...THAT makes you and others stand out.
I will have to see about a trip up your way someday.

I totally agree. I was looking around one of our locally owned pet shops, and the owner was determined to sell me UV lighting and other various lamps.:rolleye2:
She said "Improper UV lighting will be detrimental to your snake's health!"
Really. Tell that to all those breeders out there with rack systems... Sheesh.:)
