Therefor, stress to some degree is implemented. I personally do not want to risk my bp becoming ill because of regurgitation, so I feed him in his tank. I am not saying anyone is wrong for feeding outside, but in all technicality, it is correct to say it does induce some level of stress. Plus you are debating with a respected and well learned individual on this site (joepythons)
I'm not debating if it's right or not (especially with joe, I know his status here, and I seem to like him so far), because to me, it doesn't really matter.

I'm really saying, when someone shows a snake feeding out of the tank or even mentions it.. there is ALWAYS someone there to correct them for doing it. Now, if it was going to KILL your snake, then immediatly tell the person and send them a million PMs.

You know what I mean? I don't want to start a fight, because I really enjoy being here, just maybe lay off the "feed him in his tank" bit on some of the threads where nobody asked or it isn't a threat to the animal at the time.

Sorry to the OP for going off track, I really do hope your snake makes a good recovery.
