Newbie with a feeding question...

[missi182]

I do the prescenting thing already..... And as silly as it may sound I would rather not feed him in his enclosure. The whole associate my hand with food thing ya know?

Thanks 4 ur input

Your snake should not associate your hands with feeding at all if you handle them, and feed with tongs/dont stick your hands right in when feeding. But I can understand why you would feel nervous about it. Keeping your snake(s) in their enclosures during feeding does help them feel much more secure while eating (my bp drags his dinner into his hide, somehow, and eats in there often)

It does sound like your bp may be striking defensively first, and Daniel makes a great point for you to try feeding in the enclosure. It is much less stressfull for your snake to not have to be removed and returned to his enclosure for dinner.
