Re: Seperate feedin' cribz
thats why the "they will think your hand is food" arguement doesnt make sense too me. if a snake can be conditioned to show a feeding response to your hand simply because you feed it inside the enclosure then, by the same reasoning, removing your snake from its living enclosure to its feeding enclosure can condition the animal to show a feeding response every time it is handled. one way suggests conditioning a feeding response to the opening of its enclosure the other way can suggest conditioning a feeding response to handling. so if you feed in a separate enclosure in an attempt to avoid conditioning a feeding response directed to your hand then you actually may be conditioning a feeding response in the animal to handling.
just thinking on screen...
