I just want to clarify, I feed F/T I don't think its a serious of a risk as some say it is but I'm not taking the chance of my snakes being hurt in the process. And why shouldn't the "feeding response" intrigue me. It doesn't "pleasure" me, I'm not a sadist. I do find it remarkable how they have "learned" that when they're in the feeding box its time to eat and their demeanor changes accordingly. If that makes me sick then break out the thorazine. I'm new to this website but sometimes it ticks me off how matters of opinion turn into oppotunities for others to talk in a condescending manner. Sometimes I'm made to feel like I'm an idiot when really I'm just trying to be a more informed and more responsible snake owner. Thanks for your replies
