[QUOTE=EvesFriend;1324824]I feed IN my cage. I am new to all of this but I will tell you why. If anyone has any objections, you are more than welcome to explain yourself.
Some people object to feeding in thier cage because they don't want the snake to associate their hand/cage with feeding. This is entirely what I am basing my opinion on. Here is how I rationalize this:
If you feed your snake a mouse or rat outside of their cage because you do not want them to associate your hand or their enlosure with food, then how does picking them up, moving them to a new enlosure and feeding them make much of a difference? You are picking the snake up with your hand, moving them, and dropping a mouse or rat into the "feeding enlosure" moments later. How does this really make a difference?
Ha! That is the same witty answer my husband gave me when we talked about how we wanted to feed our new baby bps!! Lol I'm gonna let him read this post! It will make him laugh
