Do you feed in the cage, or out?

[snakemann6]

I use to feed out of the cage in these steralite (hopefully I spelled that right :P) containers, but when you dealing with a 10'+ burm and 6'+ boa, it can get troublesome considering that every snake that I have had, had wonderful feeding responses. Even the yearlings that I have had, had wonderful if not impressive feeding responses. I am going to stop now, because on topics like this I can get long winded on the pros and cons that I have experienced with dealing with Akasha.

That is certainly a great reason to feed large (or aggressive) snake in their enclosure.

As do I. They way I see it (as I am about to butcher something previous said by you in the pas) is if you are taking the reptile out of the enclosureto feed so that it won't strike at you in the cage, aren't you essentially teaching it to strike when it's out of the cage?

I feed in the cage just to reduce the amount of stress they would take on. It's got to be uncomfortable for them to be picked up after a full belly.

In cage, if it is only one snake.

I feed in the cage for all but one of my guys, and that's only because I'm concerned about him ingesting the substrate. Haven't noticed ANY aggression from any of them either way.
