Snakes can't learn, their brains lack that ability.
As long as you handle your snake regularly, he'll be fine. I promise you (and you can hold me to this) feeding your snake in its enclosure will not make him "cage aggressive".
It is your call though, you are it's mother now and you need to do what you feel is best
Just remember. Corns and Ball Pythons are as similar as a Whopper and a Big Mac. Similar - but not the same. I hope you know what I mean![]()
