It's just like the theory of when Ivan Pavlov rung the bell and his dog started drooling because the dog associated that ringing of the bell as feeding time. If that makes sense.
That's not true. Putting the snake in a separate container works the same exact way only when you move it to a different container, it knows that every single time you put it in a separate container you are going to feed it. When you feed in the tank and open the cage at other times (not during feeding) it will create less of that Pavlov effect.
