He weighs around 150g and eats 23-28g adult mice every 5 days. On the third day he ALWAYS starts prowling like he's hungry.
This just seemed strange because I've never seen him act that way in cage, almost striking at me when I've clearly just covered my hands in sanitizer and there's no mouse or rat anything except the little stain on the paper towel.
People all over this thread are talking about how there's no difference in behavior and I noticed a pretty huge one immediately after switching. It made me think...
Do the 50% of owners who feed in tank with less than 10 snakes do it merely because the breeders do? The breeders do it for convenience and because they're not really worried about shaping a nice family friendly animal, just a fat healthy one? I'm not taking stabs at anyone, but these are questions I'm asking myself after seeing this night and day change in my pet. I'd be really interested to see some input here from the owners who have more than 10 snakes and feed out of their cage and why.
I will try the hook if the behavior continues, or maybe just switch back.

Are people calling feeding behavior in their cage 'cage aggression?' Is this just a case of mislabeling what, to me as a casual pet owner, is an undesirable behavior?
