all snakes here from bp's to retics all fed in their enclosure. All animals but the bp's are hook trained and with al the snakes that we have raised we have never had an issue with cage aggression. this topic came up the other day with a woman in a store when another woman told her I had snakes. when I asked her what and how she feeds her bp she told me large rats outside the cage and when I asked why , she said because she knows how dangerous and aggressive they get when fed in the cage. I asked what made her think that , and she said she had a burm once that she fed in the cage and everytime she tried to take it out it would strike repetedly. I asked how old and big was the burm, and her responce shocked me. She said the burm was 6 yrs old and only 5 ft. I told her if I was a burm at that age and size I would try to eat more also. She just looked at me and said I didnt know what I was talking about and would not listen to anything I had to say. I just ended up walking away.
