Re: snake bit other snake

That's an old wives tale. You risk getting bitten by moving the snakes when they are hungry then again after they have eaten. If I tried that with my Carpets I would be getting nailed every time I went to move them once the scent is in the air.

^^^ This. Don't know where the whole cage aggression thing came from, but it's absolutely not true. I can't imagine trying to handle either of my snakes in feed mode. The majority of keepers these days will say the same thing. Feeding in the enclosure reduces stress on the snake, circumvents bite incidents, and is just overall easier and safer.
