The hook thing turns it off, because you aren't feeding him anything. The feeding tub does....what?

it works b/c ever time you open the cage, the snake Does Not assume its getting feed, it assumes its getting handled and/or some thing else is happening. the point is the snake learns that its fed in side the tub.
instead of constantly having to turn off the feed response, it trains to turn on the feed response.
BTW this is completely my own opinion but i give credit to snakes being more intelligent then some.
