Re: Feeding: In cage or out? Debate v. 1.0
I think the idea that feeding in the cage causes, or even "can cause" cage aggression, or a conditioned feeding response is a myth. The 6 snakes I have now, and the 2 pythons I had years ago, have always eaten in their cages. None of them has ever tried to bite me, in or out of the cage. I've never had a snake mistake me for a food item because it was used to being fed in the cage. If your hand smelled like a rodent for some reason, that would trigger a feeding response.
