I realize a lot of people do move them and do feed them in another enclosure, but generally speaking most handling causes stress to the snake, especially if you are going to feed them.

Although I suppose the snake would become accustomed to it in time and your handling him would put him more into feed mode. ~_~ Which could be a good thing or could be a bad thing. However you have a darn good excuse for feeding him outside of his normal enclosure, especially if you're feeding live. Back when I used a tank i left the top open and was always poised to grab the rodent if anything bad where to start happening, lol, and with those plants that would create an obstacle.

But it is personal choice as to whether you move them or not, either way is up to you but if a snake is new you really want them to be as comfortable as possible before feeding time, especially if they have proven to be finicky eaters.

As for that information: When you're bored, wiki whatever comes to mind, lol. Heck look up threads and just start wikiing random things in them, you always pick up something new and when it's about an animal you love you will retain the knowledge a lot easier.
