If you remove your snake to feed it it will feel unsafe.I feed everyone of my snakes in there enclosures.Now it is true they COULD mistake your hand as food.To avoid this happening you can use tongs if your snake eats fresh killed or frozen thawed or if you feed live just place the rodent in the snakes enclosure.Now you have to watch your snake until it kills the rodent as rodents CAN kill the snake.Of course pinkies,fuzzies can not hurt your snake.Originally Posted by Pot Roast
