So you're saying you dont think my snakes know that when they get put in the feeding tub thats its time to eat? I find that very hard to believe just because they can "understand" (if thats the right word) a pattern and that pattern is always the same on feeding day. Also the towel in the feeding tub smells like rat so again another sign its time to eat.

I dont disagree with you that the whole hand in tub get bit myth is just that... a myth but my experience has shown me that a feeding tub works very well in developing a feeding pattern which helps get/keep snakes eating regularly.
