Cool. I feed all my snakes F/T. Better for all involved in my opinion.

I think the switch to feeding in the enclosure will be pretty easy.

Just make sure you have a nice set of hemostats/tongs, etc. to hold the rat!

I don't know if it makes a difference, but I also feed all my snakes (nocturnal - BP, BCI, and Corn) at night in near darkness. I only handle with lights on in room and/or tank.

My corn and BP don't even think food unless it's nighttime and the lights are out, but then, especially with the corn, watch out!

Behira, my BCI, has a real strong feeding response, and has only been with me for a few months, so we will see how that will work with her. However, even my corn, got conditioned pretty quick and has never mistaken me for food.
