Feeding multiple snakes from the same container?
Hello, everyone. My mom asked me this question and it got me to thinking.... I have all of my snakes in tanks or Tupperware. Whenever I go to feed someone, we remove them from their enclosure and feed ina separate box, but use the same box for everyone. My two females (normal 2200grams & 370gram bumblebee) and male orange ghost (90grams) have never refused a meal. But my two other males (1000gram pinstripe and 800gram pastel) haven't eaten recently. I think it's because they were in shed, but my mom thinks it's because they can smell that a different snake has been in the box. I am getting concerned because the pastel hasn't eaten in three weeks and has now lost 60grams. The pinstripe has only gone a week w/o eating (again, I think it's because of the shed). Anyone have any input?

Feed in their enclosure, there's no need for a seperate container... you're more likely to get bit and its stress your snake doesn't need

Try seeing if feeding them in their enclosures gets them to eat. What do their enclosures look like?

I also feed in a separate box. I have no problems. But like others have said, feed in their enclosure. Nothing bad will happen.

There's no reason to feed them in a different cage/container. Feeding in a different area causes unnecessary stress from moving and opens you up to getting bit. Handling a snake that has just been fed is just asked to get bit.

Like others have said, no need to feed them in separate enclosures and that could be a possible reason your pastel hasn't eaten. I'm not saying it is, but you never know.
