Same here, just a tap to let them know it's not feeding time and usually they go the opposite direction at this time or just put their head back down. I do it mostly for my Dumerils though, feeding response is so strong I rather not be on the other end of it. If I'm not paying attention he will rip the tongs right out of my hand and wrap them with the rat, then I have to wait to get them back. I wish all BP had that kind of feeding response.
