    Re: Feeding in or out of tank?

    I feed all mine in their tubs, I use hand sanitizer before all feedings just to be sure my hands are clean. My original 3 pythons I use my hand and do the zombie dance in front of them which lasts a split second. My new rescues I use large tongs, I call them strike force by 4 for a reason for now, lol. For now they are in quarantine and are in the same enclosure and have to be separated for feeding then put back together after they are done. Obviously after a good amount of time so as not to trigger any regurge. So far so good. Best of luck to you, if you need info this indeed is the place for it.

    That's funny because I do the opposite. I use hand sanitizer only when I am going to handle the snake and DON'T use hand sanitizer when I feed so they don't smell it thinking I'm coming in to touch them...

    Re: Feeding in or out of tank?

    i feed in too & although i get some occasional "stink eye" glares from my girl i wouldnt say she's cage aggressive. a couple times she's gotten a bit too excited right before feeding time and approached the front glass doors too quick but then a quick spritz from the water bottle tells her she's gotta give me time to get the rat in there first, haha. i still wouldnt call that aggression so much as excitement.
