I thought of a few others...

Always remember that if the snake is sitting in his hide, or lying motionless, ANY sudden advance by you will startle the animal.

For survival reasons, a snake is fully aware while sleeping, and since they have no eyelids even the shadow of your hand approaching will set off the intruder alarm.

never try to feed more than one snake at a time, I have seen snakes on many occasions have no interest in a food item until another snake grabbed it, Then suddenly the competition instinct kicks in, and they will fight over the food.

Never feed in an enclosure with bedding in it, Aspen shavings, Coconut, bark, sand, gravel or moss are all good and pretty, but can and WILL become impacted in the snake, A VERY UGLY way to die.

P.S. I want that wall display
