I've read and heard many debates on the pros/cons of a feeding box, we are new snake owners Cersei is our first and we are trying to feel out what works for her. So I appreciate your input regarding that. However, the first time she struck she was inside her habitat. She struck from the inside of her hide out the hole. So in that case, do you think maybe it's the hide that is affecting her behavior or maybe it's stressing her? Or do you still think it is the feeding box concept? Thank you so much for your quick response!!
