I feed my girl in her tank because when I come home with food, it's like she knows. Lol. She won't let me close enough to take her out. However, she greets me the same way (albeit a little less aggressively) every time I go near the tank. I'm still trying to figure out if it's aggressive or if she's just inquisitive. Either way, I'm hook training her. When it's feeding day, I don't go near the tank except when it's feeding time and I open it with a rat on the tongs. I have no interest in trying to move her when she's an adult so I'm starting her young with the training. She has been like this since the day I got her, so I know it had something to do with how she was raised. My Dumeril lets me pick her up on feeding day as if it were any other day. But I've had her longer and she was younger when I got her as well. I will be hook training her as well though. It's a matter of preference. Adult boas are much bigger than BPs and their feeding response is much more pronounced. No need to risk a bite from an adult boa by moving them on feeding day IMO. Come to think of it, I can't think of anywhere large enough to move them to.
Sorry if this doesn't make much sense. I'm typing on my phone and falling asleep.
