I've been told I'm more likely to be bitten if my snakes associate opening the tub with food, you've been told you'll be more likely to be bitten because they'll associate being moved with food.....I think I'm going to assume snakes associate everything with food and sooner or later I'm going to get tagged!
I am concerned by all the posters who said moving them before feeding stresses them. That is not what I'm trying to accomplish at all so maybe feeding in the enclosure is a better idea....
