Never had a snake look at me as I was food unless I have a rat in my hand.

I thaw my rodents in baggies. If a toenail makes a hole in the bag and the rodent becomes wet, I will feed them off a plate. I will also keep an eye on that snake as it feeds.

Some snakes I'll dangle, some from hemos, some ill hold by the tail, one I have to pinch behind the neck and do the zombie rat dance, a couple I have to place on top of the hide and a couple that I have to leave the room so they will eat.
The ones you leave on top of hides do you leave it on top of the side on the warm side so that it maintains its temp? I have had success with my balls dangling if I place it down they will sniff and ignore it but I would love to get to the point that I can just place the rat in the enclosure and move to the next I suspect the boas will be much easier on this method they are still in qt and their new cages will be built 1 month before they come out of qt. I hope to never have to do the zombie rat lol
