    Snake wrangler!

    I've been seeing a lot of people still promoting the idea of cage aggression being associated with feeding a snake in its enclosure in spite of the fact that this has pretty well been debunked as a myth by now. So I made a short video explaining feeding responses and how to initiate a handling session versus a feeding session with your snake. Take a look, and let me know if I missed something or could explain it better; I'll add it to the description.

    Snake wrangler!

    Nice explanation, and gorgeous Lessor too!

    Thats's almost identical how I do it with my 5 ft Ball, 6 ft Boa, and 7ft Carpet, and it works even without a hook for these Big Girls.

    The one thing I found that you can count on about Balls is that they are consistent about their inconsistentcy.

    Thanks! It drives me nuts when I see people passing out husbandry and handling advise that's almost a decade or more out of date, ahaha. I almost always see it backed up with "well I've been keeping snake for [x amount of years] and this is how I've always done it!" Not like animal behavioral science or husbandry research is constantly expanded and updated every year, right?
