Just curious, and maybe this should be its own thread but...

Some people believe that feeding in the enclosure will cause a Pavolvian response, such that the snake will think it's feeding time whenever you open the cage...but I don't think that's a valid argument at all.
I am just curious as to why you think this is invalid? Now im not saying that a snake isnt going to be able to tell the difference between a hand and a mouse, but they do tend to make mistakes. For example, my BCI has his eyes blued over (going into shed). I was misting his tank and I think he mistook the sound of the spray bottle as hissing. He popped his head out of his hide and started hissing back he also took a strike at the glass. I find that somtimes snakes tend to have the attitude of eat or defend yourself now, ask questions later. I would rather there was no possability of him associating his home with feeding time.
Id really like to hear peoples opinions on this
