Thanks for the reply. I am thinking I will try feeding her in her cage at first, but if she seems to get even slightly agressive when I reach into the cage, then I will go back to feeding her in a seperate area (though where, I don't know). I doubt my wife would like me feeding her on the dining room table. :P

Also, I hate tried the frozen rat thing before and I just hated it. It takes too long for my taste. I mean, if I have to I will whack the rat and knock it out as I've done before, but I'd rather find a less messy and less time consuming method than using frozen rats.

In any case, I know what I'm doing. Just looking for any potential alternative methods. I've actually been handling this snake for over a year, so she is already used to me too, which should make our bond a little easier.
