something i haven't seen brought up in this particular thread: picking up a hungry snake with food ready. no way in heck am going to pick up my Coffee Bean on feeding day with a thawed rat in the room to move her, as i'd practically be begging for a bite.

Yeah, BIG mistake to under-estimate your snake's ability to smell food in the room! And then show up as "warm & wiggling" nearby... Oops!
IF you forget that your snakes don't rely much on vision (other than to chase motion) & DO rely on scent & warmth to find prey, they WILL "remind you".
