Honestly none of my snakes typically get fed from tongs for that sole reason. Normally I'll pull the snake from the enclosure, then with a free hand I put the feeder into the enclosure. Next the snake goes back into the enclosure and magically finds food waiting for it. They learn that you approaching doesn't mean they will be eating, you are just the person that handles them. It has also eliminated the need for hook training. I only used tongs this one time since an hour after putting her back in the enclosure with food she still hadn't found it.

Now my friends retics I only see once a week and on feeding day. Yeah those I hook trained and feed from tongs.
