Also, your last assertion which, I assume, is that feeding snakes out of enclosure just makes them go off feed is not correct.
Im only saying that its unnecessary to feed them outside of its enclosure. Also i wont be doing any experimentation with my snakes, they are in perfect health and stress free. Good luck to you buddy
Re: My bp doesnt like me???
Just to clear things up here, my original post wasn't an argument for feeding out of cage. I mentioned it because it was relevant that in cases where my BP couldn't actually see me at ground level, he wasn't distracted by me.
Also, I'm not entirely sure what you mean by "experimentation". I'm simply relaying experiences I've had. In any case, I see nothing wrong with trying different things to see what works best for you and your snake (being safe of course). Its also important to avoid assuming the way you do things is the "right" way. In fact, there's alot to be said for having actual experience in the different options.
For example, you made the comment about out-of-cage feeding. Firstly, even though its not the most popular method, its a fairly established practice and I have never seen "going off feed" as one of the cons to it. Also, there are snakes that will only eat outside their enclosure.
I can say there are situations where feeding out-of-cage works well for me and I can do it without feeling the need to say feeding in-cage is "wrong". I feed in-cage for 2 of my 3 snakes.
