its about controlling the feeding response.
I feed all mine in separate container, first the food goes in, then i wash my hands, get the snake and put the snake in and let it do its buisness. reason: if i just drop a rat in their tank, then it will think that everytime i open it food is coming, and go into feeding mode. Which means I get struck at(food strike is different than anger strike). This form of feeding does not contributed to that behavior. |

Hmm, interesting. But how do you avoid a food bite doing it this way, due to the snake now believing as soon as it is touched or removed, its time to eat? he he he[:)]
I am lucky I guess, I have one that's as docile as can be, and will eat just about any rat I throw in the cage. I have no problems holding her or allowing my kid to hold her. I have another however, that bites no matter what I do. I have had her since she was a few weeks old and she bites every time. She is not a "holder", but is really effective in finding and capturing rats. One mean ass snake. |

this way they are not going into food mode evertime the tank is open..and the food smell stays away from their enclosure. They dont go into food mode when i pick them up out of the cage though, I do see your point...but I think that might be one step beyond their comprehension lol.
All my snakes are docile except for 1, she just latches on to finger and wraps your hand..its a 4ft cali king...and they dont want to let go. At least it dont hurt at all.

Quoted: MURDERERS! OOPS. Freeride, I forgot to ask you to blur out the rat. Obviously, IMBRO is related. Sorry you had to see that IMBRO.[:)] |
