    I handle the 2 bps every seconds day and the 2 corns twice a week maybe.

    I currently have 2 bps and 2 corns

    I feed in the cage.

    My pastel is a bit aggressive but its not due to feeding in the cage. She is like that all the time. But is settling down. She has always been aggrassive for me.

    Bps = f/t rats
    Corns = f/t mice.

    Currently all in tanks but am switching over the bps to a rack hopefully next week.

    I always feed in the cage. Neither of my snakes are cage aggressive.

    Edited to add that I voted on the wrong on. I voted on "yes, I feed in the cage". I got confused...I should have voted "No, I feed in the cage" sorry!

    How often do you handle your snakes: several times per week including on feeding day before the feeding.
    In cage/Outside of cage to feed?: Feed in cage
    # of snakes with cage aggression: 0
    F/T P/K or Live?: Both of my snakes get f/t RATS. The smaller one is still on pups and the bigger one is on small rats. I have never fed either of my snakes mice. My older one has never had a mouse in his entire life! I wonder if he'd know what to do with it...
    Tank/Tub: Tubs now but they used to be in tanks.

    # Snakes in Collection: one
    How often do you handle your snakes: every few days
    In cage/Outside of cage to feed?: in cage (hides and water dish removed- she can differentiate between the empty cage and full one)
    # of snakes with cage aggression: none
    F/T P/K or Live?: live
    Tank/Tub: tank (AP cage)

    Like I said before, I don't have a cage aggressive snake because her environment changes when she eats, as opposed to when she is getting taken out. I don't even use a hook. I've only been tagged once in the 4 years I've owned her. That was because she had just come off of a 7 month fast and had eaten a small rat the week before (she normally has bigger mediums).

    How often do you handle your snakes: weekly to twice weekly depending on how much free time I have
    In cage/Outside of cage to feed?: my ball is fed inside her tank, but all my corns and my king are fed outside in a sterilite container (only because I'm afraid of them accidentally ingesting aspen - my ball is on coconut husk)
    # of snakes with cage aggression: 0
    F/T P/K or Live?: all of my colubrids get F/T but my ball unfortunately refuses anything but live. My largest corn gets one jumbo mouse per week, my little king gets one fuzzy, and then my other 2 corns get one rat pup each. My ball gets 2 large live mice per week.
    Tank/Tub: 4 of my snakes, including my ball, are currently in tanks. One of my corns is in a tub. However, as soon as my king and my youngest corn outgrow their tanks, they're going in tubs too! :D
