    Yeah, I've had that happen now & then- the more snakes you have, the more years you feed them, or the feistier they are, the stranger things you get to see. The snakes that strike so hard they fly out towards both you & the food you're offering them sure gets your pulse racing! And it really helps to know which snakes won't let go of their food & come after you when you pick them up as one & put them back where they belong. I have snakes that will happily let go of their prey & come after motion (me!) without fail, so it's imperative they stay IN their tanks in the first place. I know that many keepers prefer sliding front doors, but personally I find it easier to feed from overhead, because in my experience it seems much easier for snakes to loop outside those sliding doors when feeding.

    I think the original question posed here is about where we "intended" to feed the snake, anyway.
