no. with feeding issues you need to monitor closely. you can't do that in a cage full of decor. he either needs to feed in a tub or take out all of his decor and bedding. feeding tub is easier and more practical. i understand transferring a skittish snake can cause stress, but it should be done quickly.

Am confused what you can monitor in a tub that you cant monitor in the viv? Our guys all eat off plates in their viv with no issues (except the arboreals who feed hanging from their perch in their vivs).

but those are YOUR guys. just because YOUR guys eat off plates, that doesn't mean thomas1123's snake will. thomas1123 already stated he has leaves in his cage and his snake is skittish/aggressive. how can you monitor you new snake's first feeding behavior if there are object that could potentially get in the way? answer - you can't. not sure what you are confused about??????
