Actually, yes I did feed her from her enclosure, so it is no surprise she associated anything within grabbing range when the lid came off as potential food. But I basically have to feed all my snakes this way because of the high numbers I have always owned(100-200). If I only had a few, it wouldn't be a problem to take them out and feed them in another location. But it just isn't practical whatsoever in this situation.
The important thing is I am always very aware and careful, and can "read" all the snake's behavior very well, but over the period of several decades of feeding and handling snakes, a few accidents are bound to happen once in a while..LOL!
At least your Sand boa isn't a "problem feeder", which is a very good thing..LOL!
take care!, ~Doug
