What everyone said and....
I know my snakes well and hook trained my boa because of a crazy food response.
My corn could care less what I am doing in the tank. My BP is in between.
However. I usually remove my snakes when doing anything inside the tank to prevent a defensive, or worse, food response bite.
It often stresses them out less to be removed and placed in a holding area/enclosure while you do tank maintainence.
Then put them back when done.
This works well for me and they know the routine.
