I have talked to so may people who have been doing things totally wrong for years. Humans in general tend to believe things that they hear and then advocate for those myths. My mom still tells me to put on a coat or I will catch a cold. Every time she says it I say "Mom, do cold viruses thrive in the cold or in houses with poor ventilation do to being sealed up because its cold out." She gets angry at me and walks away because she knows I am right but has been told her whole life that the cold causes colds. Its hard to let go of myths. Most people know that the cold is caused by a virus but still believe that a coat will protect them. I fully believe that cage aggression is a myth. I believe that aggression around feeding time is real. My snake gets in feeding mode when I pre sent the room, not when I open the cage. In short, feed your snake larger prey in its enclosure. You and your snake will be happier. Just because someone claims to be an expert doesn't mean they are.
