Thank you, Richard! Do you tap the snake before you handle it, or tap the cage, something else? Yes, I should have mentioned, but I did check for both eye caps and I always check for the tip of the tail. Thankfully, they were all there in the shed!

Here is a link to a thread I started on hook training: https://ball-pythons.net/forums/show...ead-with-Video


Thanks, Dakski! I will definitely check it out!
