When I lived in Seattle and had my snakes in the basement, It was so easy to work. But, there was some differences.
In Tucson, snakes feed, they feed like crazy, daily, even wild snakes. So, multiclutching was easy and normal. They simply fed like pigs. In Seattle, the very same snakes, were reluctant to feed after laying, at least by comparison. So seeing multiclutching was rare. Ernie thought multiclutching was genetic as he only had a couple individuals do it. All mine did, only way to stop it was not feed them. Except when I was in Seattle.
Tucson is hot based, we have heat radiating from everything. In Seattle, it was the opposite. Cool was radiating from all objects. Your right thought, these types of snakes are cool based.
