I've seen this with every type of snake I've worked with.
I have yet to see any proof that snakes associate a location with feeding. I also don't have any reason to believe that they would. Do you have any evidence that supports that? Do you have a hypothesis as to why they would? Can you explain how you have seen this? What is the sample size, how many snakes have you worked with and of what breed?
