How to Break a Snake Habit??

When my BRB is in hunting mode and is hungry will look toward the top of the cage (Because right now he is in a tub and so that is where the opening is and where his food comes from) and when I take the clips of (it make a sound and/or vibration) and he stretches himself all the way to the top right where it opens. I do not like holding the mouse when his head is right near the opening, because one, I do not want to get bit and two, i don't want him to attempt a hungry escape.

He has just started doing this in the last couple of weeks.

I do not mind him in hunting mode (of course) but I don't like him going to the top of of the cage like he's about to shoot out or bite my hand off. So.... What do you guys suggest to get him to stop doing that?

Then who cares?
If you want to take the snake out at non-feeding times use a hook. It will usually break a snakes feeding mode.

At non-feeding times i spray him with a little water from a spray bottle. Ha, wow, I just realized what I'm asking is a pretty stupid question, he's a snake. Not a dog.

I can't believe I'm saying this, but I agree with Aaron. LOL
