hey Renee thats a great picture!! thats awesome!!!
so i have used feeding tubs only a handful of times but for the most part i never use them now. i dont know if i am pushing my luck and am bound to have an accident or not, but so far the only issue i ever ran into was with bedding sticking to the prey and that always turned into a non-issue. now that i use paper its gone completely.
i have read a few discussions on that so i know what you mean about having the snake "think" its feeding time when you reach in to change water. i can understand that that might happen however i dont know about anyone else but i never actually see it happen or heard anyone even tell a story of it.
i have a few times abruptly woken my snakes and had them curl up into defense strike mode. what i do is hold my hand up flat (as if to give a high five) and slowly move it toward them slowly and that seems to always calm them down no matter what snake.
thats just my thought on that but i know this thread is about two snakes in one cage. in that case i can see the extra incentive to use a tub. but again maybe i was just lucky but i feed Bella and her sister in the same cage using their hide on edge as somewhat of a divider never had a problem
