to keep and breed many types of giant snakes I NEVER FED THEM IN THEIR CAGE. The reason being is that when you open the door you immediately trigger a feeding response. I would remove them to an enclosed feed box and only then feed them. Some of my charges over time became so used to this that to put them back in their enclosure I only had to lift the lid of the feed box and they would slowly return to their cage on their own!! This feed box was 4' x 2' and easy to move as it was on wheels. That is the safest method I have found. Needless to say one had to careful putting food in. thanks...Tom Crutchfield
