I agree with all of you. I think the most important thing to emphasize is that if you don't want your snake/rosy to develop into a agressive feeding machine that will strike at the first movement it sees, is to handle your animals regularly. With many breeders, myself included, we usually have too many animals to devote enough time to inorder to prevent the feed response from developing. Once it develops, however, it is very difficult to break. Personally, although I'd rather they didn't bite (as it hurts and all), it doesn't bother me enough to stop me from keeping and breeding these beautiful and fascinating creatures. And even if they do bite, they are still relatively harmless. I believe that anyone can prevent the feed response from developing, and even break it once it does, if they devote enough handling time.
