I think that it's less of an association with a hand and more of an association with the opening of the cage something entering it (Hand, food, etc.)Originally Posted by Slim
2) Let's say you move your snake to a feeding tub and successfully feed him. Now you have to move a snake that's in feeding mode back to its regular enclosure. Tell me again how you don't want to have a snake associate your hand with feeding time
3) If you use long tongs or hemostats to introduce the prey (which is recommended) how can they associate food with your hand?
More of a "Something is coming in, that means food." rather than a "I see hands when I am going to get food so these must be food."
Like how Pavlov's dogs associated the bell ringing with food, not just seeing the hand that rings the bell.
