well my snake is in a big black tub, the top has a back pet safe mesh spot for us to see in. and he's usually in his hide so he wouldn't see anyways! and once I remove the hides, he just see's a rat in his face. and me watching him eat, you don't look at the person watching you eat and be like "oh they must have supplied this burger I now stick near their side for more burger." that's just not what you would do, and it even sounds weird for a animal.
