i agree, at the shop that i work at a bag all of the snakes as a feed them, then place the bag in the tank and gently slide them out, no handling, no feeding response, it works. but since i have yet to find a paper bag big enough to hold a twenty pound burm, i will continue feeding him in his tank lol. I also use the hook method when getting him out to hold him, he knows when that hook comes in, a rat isn't and while it may not be a fool proof method i have yet to be bitten. regardless, i dont think the person at the store should have told you the RIGHT way to feed your snake. i have worked in petstores for the majority of my employed life and its just bad business to tell someone what they MUST do. when it comes to reptiles there are so many methods and not every method works with every snake, you have to know your animals and what works for that particular snake. i have had ball pythons that i could handle for an hour, put in a bag and would pound down food, and others i couldnt even look at the wrong way or it would refuse to eat lol. it just depends.
