ive been thinking about this more and more lately,
i remember when i was younger i kept a couple of adult bps over a summer for my schools animal class, the teacher just told me to "throw in a rat once a week" ok, and i was never reluctant or "tactfull" when reaching into the cage to get the snakes.
fastforward to recent years keeping boas and bps,and i only feed f/t, and it seems to me that snakes feed f/t are more likely to bite you! i have to be "tactfull" when picking them from thier cages.

and i have a theory:
snakes have an instinct to eat rats,mice,bunnies,etc.. but they learn through years of feeding how thier "food" behaves.

when fed live they see they prey at thier level moving around and such,
but when they are fed f/t you are introducing it from above,they therefore relate YOU to food.

im not saying im an advocate of live feedin,im not i have a snake that wears the reason we feed f/t on his nose.

im just wondering if theres a better way.
