We feed in the cage. We hold the prey item (f/t) by the leg with hemostats, open the door just enough to get the prey item in the cage then hold the door against the prey items leg. This keeps the door between us and the hungery Burm.



If we are handling the snake we use a snake hook to get the snakes attention and let them know it's not feeding time. When the hook comes in, their feeding response usually goes away. Our hook is 40 inches long, not good for picking them up, but good for moving them around and getting their attention.



We're not saying this is the best way or the only way, find something that works for you.



Hope this helps and congratulations on your new burm.
