I feed all my snakes in their enclosures, have for years & years, and have no trouble "communicating" with them when it's dinner time & when it's not...but you
just need to pay attention to what signals you're sending, because they sure are. Moving a hungry snake to another cage to feed, then handling it again to put
it back while it's still in "feed mode" is asking for trouble. Feeding mistakes are the WORST bites, & may be dangerous to you, besides being very unpleasant.
BPs are usually more docile snakes, so while you may be "able" to move them, it doesn't mean that you "should"- shyer snakes may not feed after being handled.
I could NEVER have moved the large female BCI that I had many years: her feed response was powerful...just opening her cage to get food in was a challenge,
never mind trying to pick her up while she was expecting dinner. No thanks...
