how to coax out of his hide

[satomi325]

Most people on here feed in the enclosure. You're actually more likely to get bitten moving a just-eaten snake from one place to another than you would be just dropping the feeder in and going on your merry way (or sitting and watching for a bit, if you're feeding live). Cage aggression is a myth in BPs. They can learn routine and know the difference between feeding time and handling time.

Agreed.

No one wants to deal with a snake that is still in hunt mode after a feed. You're more likely to get bit. Especially when there is left over scent of food around.
In fact, they might associate handling(moving to a separate feeding bin) with getting fed.

I've done hundreds of feedings in enclosures and never had a snake bite me from thinking I was food some other day. A snake knows the difference between your hand and a rat. You won't get bit as long as you don't smell like food.
