So, you and many others, think the snakes are "lost" because it did not go to or use what you "think" is best for it. In reality, its not lost, it simply did not choose what you offered it. So they choose to go under the box and not in it. Hmmmm not lost, just did not like your offering, YET. and yet is a biggy.

What your doing is putting the snake, "on a rail" that is, forcing it to go from A to G, and only in the way you want it to go. On the rail, like a train, it cannot go anywhere it wants, no matter how bad it wants too. You sir, know how to raise them in a superior way. But even superior has many levels.

Your way is opposed to their natural design. Their natural design is to utilize and conserve, every stinking bit of energy they consume and use it for live events, food is not a consistent in nature. This means, they use a range of temps to utilize prey, they always pick the lowest temps needed to accomplish a task, this does not waste energy. Do they pick high temps, yes, and most likely higher then you offer, they do so when they consume large items, but as soon as they start to break down that bolus, they move to lower temps. They don't wait until its completely digested, they do so in process. Again you ask why, the answer is easy, because its how their designed and more efficient. so what that animals is telling you by not going in the box is, It doesn't want that box YET. End pt 2
