I'm not going to speak for Tosha, but I doubt she moves them for handler safety. That's a myth that has been circulating for quite some time. Ball pythons will not strike at you every time you open the cage because you feed them in their cage. You probably open it up much more for routine maitenence and handling than just feeding, so your snake will not be conditioned that way.



More likely, people will feed them outside of the bin because they don't want their snake to ingest substrate which can be a problem at times.
