Re: Feeding: In cage or out? Debate v. 1.0
with more then one snake in one cage...no, with just one, depending on substrate i dont see why not, i feed outside of the cage 90% of the time, but if i get a new snake i feed the first couple times in the cage to get em feeding good before i move to feeding in bins, everything has feeding bins, i even feed my geckos crickets in bins (worms in a dish in the cage) i used to be a strong believer that feeding outside of the cage will keep snakes from getting aggressive, but i dont feel so strong about that anymore, if a snake is hungry, it doesnt matter where it is, it will act hungry, i had a stretch during the summer where i couldnt get any rats for a couple weeks, lil miss piggy (Bindi) got hungry and turned evil, everytime i opened the cage she would get in strike position, and this was new cus she never is mean, she had also never been feed in her cage before, but she was sitting there striking, sure enough when i got ahold of a rat and gave it to her, all aggression stopped, i still feed in bins, because i like natural set-ups with eco earth bedding, and i still do believe that it helps keep them not as mean, like it makes sense, Bindi is completely perfect, but when i put her in a rubbermade bin, she turns evil, cus shes trained that that is where she gets food, so i imagine if i fed her in the cage she would adapt the same ideas
