Well, moving away from venomous, I have a 5-ft Texas rat snake (WC) who has retained the renowned "don't mess with me EVER!" behaviors common to his species, but he is an easy feeder on F/T and live alike. Thing gets whiplash snatching that rodent from the tongs. He's even quicker than the very lad back corn snake in the next cage. I wonder if a habitate adjustment might help -- you note that these are both sizable snakes, could be they feel cramped in a tub arrangement.
