    Re: Cage Aggression Due to Feeding Practices

    Well, if they alert to the fact that it's feeding day, then they can be 'cage aggressive'--they will come up out of the bin after food as soon as it opens, because the scent is in the air. I don't think that really, counts, though.

    I don't have any ball pythons that normally behave that way, and I always feed them in their bin.

    I have 41 snakes--40 balls and one Plains garter. (He's not cage aggressive, either).

    I don't have any aggressive snakes. I have a few that can be touchy sometimes, but will calm if approached correctly.

    Cage aggression is specifically when a snake strikes to FEED whenever its cage is opened. A snake that is simply aggressive all the time isn't 'cage aggressive'. A snake that strikes defensively is not displaying cage aggression.
