Feeding Locations

[bcr229]

Just wondering; how does this apply with other snake species??
A friend of mine had a corn snake that they had fed in a separate container for many moons; the husband was a little lazy one day and fed it in its cage, and from that point on it always would strike at them when they put their hands in the cage to grab it out...

Is that due to the snake being afraid, or do different snakes act different??

It could just be a strong prey drive, my female MBK is the same way. If we need to take her out of the enclosure we hook her first. Over time she's learned that hook = no food.

We don't use tongs for the live feeders, they move just fine all on their own.
