The difference between feeding times and non feeding times.

wouldn't want to confuse the snake into thinking those dangling fingers are a mouse...

They can tell the difference by way of smell and sensing the size of an animal. When a snake comes across a big animal in the wild, does it try to eat it or flee?

No, it flees...but you're trying to tell me that when a person handles a caged snake, there is no possibility for the snake to strike at the fingers?

Hi Everyone,

The snakes are now separated permanently. I bought a piece of plexi glass and secured it to the center of the terrarium.

I don't think the male is cannibalistic. I think he was confused because it was feeding time. Thanks for everyone's inputs, I appreciate your insight.

Don't think I ever said that.
