Not all BP's are docile. And even the docile ones can and will bite if provoked to do so, either out of fear, or due to a feeding error. (If your hand smells like a rodent, for instance). You may never get bit....but don't assume that because it hasn't happened that it never could.Originally Posted by rmune0750
As for feeding inside/outside the snake's enclosure....the whole "theory" that a snake will become aggressive if fed in its own home is bunk, and doesn't even make any sense if you just think about it for a moment. If it were true, then the snake would also associate being taken OUT of its enclosure with feeding time and then become aggressive every time you took it out....yes?
Some people feed outside the enclosure for a variety of reasons, but it is not something you MUST do. If it is working for you, then fine. If it's not, then there's nothing wrong with trying it the other way.
