Feeding day with my 4ft flaviargus can be lots of fun, its not safe to attempt to hold a camera or Id video it. Usually he flies through the air and slams into the plexiglas door(as Im trying to open it), then runs up the surface biting to get to the food. His head domes out, his neck, and 2 legs sometimes before I can stop him. Usually I squeeze the food around the door fast on a long pair of hemostats, he takes the food at 2-3 ft in the air.
Sobek is always pretty good at eating (my 6ft 8 inch albigularis), she doesnt require much safety measures. I wouldnt suggest this unless you know your monitor very very well, but many times I hand feed her.
The red ackies eat from a long pair of hemostats (too skittish otherwise), they leap after rat pups, sometimes their own body length off of the ground.
Definitely no comparing them to any domesticated animals.
