hey guys i was looking to get some opinions on my way of feeding my baby corn snakes, and the ball python i just got which i will feed the first time in 3 days. i feed f/t so after the mouse is warm i place it in a plastic container. then i wash my hands to remove the smell, and i remove the snake from the enclosure. after holding the snake for a minute or so, saying my goodbyes for the next 36hrs, i lower the snake towards the mouse, manuevering them so their head touches the mouse's head. it almost allways takes less than 5seconds for them to slowly and non violently open wide and start to consume the mouse. afterwards i allow the snake to crawl out slightly and i pick them up and return them home. i do this because i feel like it speeds things up, and i am introducing the snake to the mouse, not the other way around. my goal in all of this is to create very docile snakes that are not easily confused when it comes to food vs people. let me know what you think
