Ditto the above... feeding time puts some herps into the "mood". I have always, with the exception of monitors, feed my herps in the enclosures or tubs. I never have picked them up before a feeding for approx 24 hours as some seem to get scheduled. In addtion, I do not touch for 48 hours after a feed... One to let them settle a bit, and two my Kings and Boa from the past seemed to be "on it" for a bit after a fed. Kinda like Dad after turkey day...
