New Snake Owner Needs HELP!

[Lefitte]

Yeah I would definitely feed in the cage. After seeing the way my king strikes and tracks after eating even large meals, I cant imagine trying to handle her around feeding time. She'a also a big baby about things. She ate well for me but when winter hits she immediately starts throwing fits. She also refused to eat if its not hot and moving but if it wiggles too much then she wont touch it. And if I drop it I ruin the whole game. Keep trying, try to play on your snake's instincts and listen to it. Maybe it wants a moving prey item, maybe it wants a still one. You can also try going back down a size until it starts eating again.
