Both my BP and my Boa get fed in separate tubs... That is how i was told to Always feed a snake that is handled as a pet. I have never had any problems getting them to eat that way, my BP always strikes immediately. I could see how this could get aggravating feeding a larger number of snakes. Seems that the majority of the people feed in their regular tank. Was I misinformed??? I can normally tell once they are out of their feeding mind set and ready to go back to their cage to digest. None of my snakes have ever regurged either(thank god.. thank would scare the crap out of me.) I was told this was the #1 rule when feeding. I have never thought about going the other way but the accounts of the other members has opened my mind.
I am going over to my freinds house tonight because he couldn't get his baby BP to eat before left for vacation...maybe he's shy... I'll try to get him to eat it in his tank.
