That one of the biggest myths in keeping snakes. Their are to many folks that do it myself for one and i have been doing it for over 5 years now without problems.
hmmm, this is a little harsh <check spelling of 'associate'> It does make logical sense, even though it is not true! Furinax, think about all of the big breeding facilities. They could not possibly take all of their herps out of their tubs, move them to another, feed them, and then move them back! It is only a myth that even pet stores perpetuate!
If you think about it more, you could speculate that feeding outside of the cage/tub would stress out a ball and then moving back to their enclosure could cause regurg. Yuck!!
