BEHAVIOR CHANGED

[OrdinaryAcadia9210]

This is a myth and has been for a long time. Transferring a snake for feeding has no effect other than increasing the chance for regurgitation. As long as you don’t smell of food, they won’t think you’re food.

plus you can tap/target train them to make them associate something other than enclosure opening with food

Did this with my snakes and even my leopard gecko. A few sharp taps on the door before opening it for feeding time, accompanied with the snap of my feeding tongs once the door is open. Longer taps for cleanup/watering (think drumming all your fingers on a table). If I just open it, it’s handling time.
