Feeding in a seperate tank

[MasonC2K]

I would strongly disagree. I can see where in most cases it isnt needed; however if you believe they get use to being handled, why couldnt they get use to a pattern and routine for eating? These are creatures of very basic patterns and routines, and that is something you can get them adjusted to in most cases if there is a need.

I can only see it happening if the only time you ever open the cage is to feed. But if that's the only time you ever open the cage, why even have a snake? As long as you handle your snake in a normal way and don't smell like a rat, odd of you getting bitten are low, especially with a BP.

Like I said I only had to do it with the Burm I had because it had a very strong feed response. additionally the animal was a rescue and had never really gotten use to handling, so there was a need to "train." and as stated only for those animals who were a bit trouble some.
