The only place I’ve ever heard people tell me to feed in a separate tub is at petco when I was just talking about my snakes have yet to bite me and the manager said that must be because u feed in a separate tub, I laughed out loud because I thought he was joking, but he told me to go to Walmart and buy a feeding tub ASAP. I told his I was not doing that and he should probably research that before telling more people to do that. Next time I was there he came up to me and said how wrong he was and he feels bad for telling hundreds of people to do that but he won’t anymore. Pretty cool guyOriginally Posted by redshepherd
Please join some more snake communities, like fb groups and other forums, if this one isn't enough to convince you... You'll get much more convincing! No experienced keeper moves their snakes into a separate tub to feed, or even new keepers who have done good research. That it helps you OR the snake in any way is just a myth! In fact, you will have a much better chance of the snake accepting f/t food too if you feed inside the enclosure, assuming you have good husbandry for the snake.
Feel free to come move my green tree python out of her enclosure and into a tub before every meal.It'll take forever and you'll be bitten about five times in a minute. LOL
Anyway, I also kept rodents in the same room as my snakes, only about 3 feet away. Initially, they became very excited by the scent but only for the first day, and then got used to it and know that food isn't coming.
