I think you guys will find a more tolerable feeding response if you:

1-Stick to f/t rodents. Maybe once in a while a snake would be fun to use, but by what you guys are saying, it sure seems to add to an aggressive feeding response.

2-Don't be part of the feeding program. Feed the snakes at night, leave the room, don't watch. I put their meal in a dish and I check a few minutes after to see that they are eating. If I see them eating, I leave the room for the night.

3-Feed smaller, more frequent meals.

Anyway, these are just a few ideas that may or may not help. I hope they do. So far this is working for the 4 (plus-2) I'm keeping. Who knows, maybe they'll all go nuts someday.

I'd like to know if you guys try this and have success calming the snakes down.
