How do I keep from jumping when I feed my snakes?

Jumping, that’s were the fun is. I’m not bragging, a lot of us have been doing this a long time. I might not jump on the outside, but every once in a while I jump on the inside, lmfao. I think most the long time keepers do, lol. It makes it interesting. Especially with balls, you think their not even remotely interested, gotta try every trick in the book. Then bam outta nowhere they hit like a small explosion. Gotta love it.

Exactly! A little adrenaline is good for ya! We really don't want snakes that eat in slow motion, do we? I mean, I have a few "polite" snakes but I wouldn't want
them all to be that way. The way they are capable of explosive action one minute, & then still be sweet to handle, is part of their charm & mystique.
