Old chestnut - Feeding inside or outside of the viv
Hi,
A forum search found a fairly inconclusive thread from 2005. The previous owner of my 2 boas took them out and fed them individually in crates. His reasoning was that he did not want them to associate the viv with feeding so that he risked being struck at when he opened the door.
That seems sensible enough. However so does the other opinion that moving them out for feeding and back in just afterwards stresses them out too and that they associate being outside with being fed.
Has there been any progress in consensus of opinion in the matter in the last 12 years since that thread appeared, or is it still a matter of personal opinion?
For me with 2 large snakes it seems intuitive to leave them in their home for feeding, where they can stay undisturbed for however long they need afterwards.
Thoughts?
