Question on feeding style

[lasweetswan]

I feed all mine in their tubs. Usually I just put a piece of cardboard over the aspen and when they are done eating, I remove it. Works like a charm.

Once you handle your new bp a few times and get to know it, you will realize they have no intention of biting you, unless you smell like rodents. Just remember to always wash your hands before and after handling a snake.

Personally, Im new to BP's too, so I am still feeding in a seperate enclosure because of the "substrate in their mouth" reason, but eventually, I will start feeding in her enclosure. She has never refused food yet, so maybe I just got a really lucky BP, who doesnt mind being moved.

I also like to leave my snake alone for 2 hours in a dark room with no noise, so she isnt disturbed or stressed. These are all just precautions that I take, not saying they are necessary. Plenty of bp owners do it their own way, because you have to figure out what works for YOUR snake, and once theyre feeding, thats all that matters.
