He wasn't even facing me and before the rats feet hit the bottom of the tub he snatched it out of my hand! Things are looking good.

Is there a reason why you are feeding in a separate container?

+1 on this. It's not necessary and it could cause the snakes to regurge if they get stressed after being moved.

Never ever feed with your hand. Buy tongs

They have some great racks. The only ones I use. They also ship it to you within 2 weeks of placing an order. Some places you wait at least 2+ months to get your cages / racks.

I highly recommend them.

Everyone has told me to feed in a separate container, so the bedding would not be swallowed.

Can you elaborate on not feeding with my hands?

Get a pair if tongs. I still feed with hands... I'm not always bright lol
But my girl just sits and waits... she's never tried to take it as I'm lowering it.
