I have converted: Only in-tank feeding from here on out!

[ItsAllNew2Me!]

If people are feeding f/t, there's really no reason to move the BP in another place for feeding. If you're feeding live, that's a whole another story.

Personally, I don't agree with people who let live mice/rats run around the snake's enclosure. Not only can it be dangerous to the BP if something happens, it's also VERY unsanitary.

I disagree. I have fed live in the same enclosure for many years with my cornsnake and original BP and never had an issue with injury or unsanitary conditions. I have breed rats and mice and if I have had to purchase I know exactly where they come from and how they are handled. I can say I only feed my original BP live small rats while all my others only eat up to live weaned. All my snakes that eat smalls, besides my original bp again, get fresh killed. I can understand the dangers of unattended feedings of live prey as I have seen many examples of irresponsible feedings gone wrong. But can you clarify what is "VERY unsanitary"?

**also to add, my BPs never allow anything to run around their tanks. As soon as they sense them...bye--bye lol**
