I could see you not wanting your snake to ingest aspen (which can be avoided by changing substrate which is also mostly aesthetic), but everything else you mentioned is aesthetic. Owner benefit, meaning not having to clean.Originally Posted by catboulet
My ball pythons live in a tank and on feeding day I put them in a big tupperware
First because I use aspen as substrate
Second because I give them live prey and the mice always pee or poop before getting eat so if I would give them in the tank it will smell and I`ll have to clean it
I always wait 5 to 10 mins before putting them back in the tank very gently and I never had any probleme and they never refuse a meal
and they never bit me cause i always wash my hand so i dont smell like a mice
Like I said, some people are fine doing this but there is reasoning behind why the majority of members on this site feed in enclosures. I am not going to say that anyone is a bad owner for choosing to feed outside the enclosure, and this subject has been discussed dozens of times on this forum.
In the end, yes it is personal choice, but the reasoning behind the better choice is clear.
