I used to use seperate feeding containers. Now it would be a nightmare to move 60 plus snakes to seperate containers to feed!! Not to sorry though~ most BPs are not as aggressive about feeding as the ones described in this thread. And even my most aggressive feeder ~ Munch~ the one that will bite himself! Seems to know the difference between opening the tub to drop in a rat, and opening the tub to pull him out to clean or handle him. Probably because he is pretty far down in the rack system, and he has heard at least 30 snakes get a rat before his turn comes up!! Munch is a VERY aggressive feeder, but I know that~ so when I have a rat I am carefull~ otherwise he is a very mellow snake (and my favorite, and my only BP that is not a future breeder~ he is just a beloved pet). And I NEVER handle him with rat smell on me!! LOL!
