Target Training Fail!

[Gio]

I don't quite understand the point of target training or why you'd want to moderate a snake's strong feeding response. Can you elaborate please?

I think it’s an interesting concept and the woman who is involved in it works a lot with Bredli pythons. I tend to let the animals I have do what their instincts dictate.

The training itself could assist with reptile research down the road.
There have been some limited intelligence studies done with snakes that didn’t prove much.

I don’t have the time or patience to work through this type of exercise. I do like seeing some of the results though.

It’s something I would never have tried with the retic I used to keep.
