    Re: Acclimating hatchling - when to feed?

    I don't want to feed in his vive because I have had a bad experience with a cage-aggressive corn -- I realize that they are different, and that BPs are pickier, but it is something I'd like to learn for myself, and also hopefully, if possible, get my snakes in the habit of. The corn has already gotten the hang of it.
    Obviously I want what is best for my pets, but the BP is young, and I'm hoping to be able to "shape" him, if that makes sense?

    I promise I won't come back in a few weeks saying "My BP won't eat!" if he gets stressed about moving containers
    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
