Just because my sand boa won't stay put and will burrow immediately, I put him in a Petco take home cardboard container with his mouse and he eats it like that. But that's just because with my deep substrate for him, he wouldn't eat otherwise.Originally Posted by dadspets
The petco box however goes back in the enclosure in case he manages to escape from it, which he has many times.
Just like Argentra said, if your worried about feeding in the enclosure, remove some of the loose foliage for safety. Much easier than moving the snake. :]
I don't know what kind of hide you have Butters, but it sounds like it could be a log hide, which are heavy/useless/stressful pieces of wood anyway.
When feeding in the enclosure you shouldn't put it in front of them while they are in the hide unless they have room, but rather entice them out of their hide to stalk and strike.
