Where do you feed?

[ravenzwife]

Do you feed in your snake's main enclosure, or a separate "feeding only" enclosure?

Thanks!

Feeding Only Enclosure

All but one in their main enclosure.

All are fed in their enclosures.

Once you get more than a few it takes way too long to take them out and feed them and put them back. Not to mention they feel more comfortable "dining in" rather than "dining out"

I use newspaper so I never have to worry about them ingesting substrate. If I were using aspen I could see some truth to moving them.

And as for the whole "they will be more likely to bite you" I have not found this at all. A coiled, ready to strike BP is the same regardless of whether they are fed in or out of their enclosure. I have as of yet, not been mistaken for food reaching into their enclosure.

i use aspen and have never had a problem with my animals ingesting the substrate. they rarely ingest it and if they actually do i would bet those strong stomach acids that digest teeth and bone could break down a thin little piece of aspen or two.

I voted other because I feed in both. With the ball pythons I feed outside the enclosure for the majority of the time since we can easily clean the tubs while the snakes are eating in other tubs.

With the corns, we just clean the cage and then feed in the enclosure. Not sure why it works out like this but it just does.

Balls and boas in their tubs and cages. I leave the hides in with the balls so they can ambush their prey!

I've always fed outside the enclosure..I dunno why, I have a fear of getting tagged
