Feeding in a seperate tank

[tcutting]

So glad you asked. Because I believe in evolution and these animals did not evolve to recognize patterns and routine. They did on the other hand evolve to be very good at detecting the smell, and heat signature of prey. My hand doesn't look or smell like a rodent. For the sake of argument lets assume that the snake can determine patterns and now associated its feeding tub with feeding time. When you reach your hand in to take the snake out and put it back in its normal cage won't it think your hand is another rodent? I have yet to hear a convincing argument for cage aggression in BPs.

I suppose the situation that I used a separate feeding enclosure is somewhat different... I did it with a Burm I had and I hook "trained" it. Never just stuck my hand straight in. Between hook training and feeding in a separate pen it DID make a HUGE difference with that animal. Perhaps just a one off but made my life easier and handling much safer.
