Sorry, I just got to say this. A normal healthy well balanced snake, does not need to be tricked into feeding, in any way, its what they do to sustain life. Its required, its a number one priority. Even placing food items in a calm secure place, is trickery, very mild trickery. But having to do that is still the animal telling you, its not right.
The problem is, many people rely on trickery, instead of improving their husbandry.
Most of the husbandry published is fair, but they are guidelines, not exact rules, which means, they are meant to be adjusted or tweaked to fit the snake and the keeper. Guidelines are a place to start, not a place to finish.
