Re: Turbine eating in the air.
Snakes swallow like that to use gravity to their advantage.
As for heat tape. Only con I really can come up with is you have to wire it up yourself and have a good thermostat for it to be used properly. Also, I have never seen it used on glass. It comes in rolls so it's very useful for rack systems.

90% of the time, shell only eat in the dark. So I just place her in a differant bin so its easier to cover up with a blanket.

Great pics but if she only eats when covered I wouldn't uncover her for photos or she might regurgitate.

Re: Turbine eating in the air.
lol nice pic. My bp does that, completely vertical. It looks so weird, like a stretched sock.
I don't feed my snakes in my enclosures either. Every time I've fed my rosy in his tub he squishes it into a corner or gets it trapped under driftwood/hide/etc. and then gives up. I'm always worried about substrate ingestion too, I've heard bad stories about that.

Paris, those stories are from people who can't fathom that they were the actual reason the animal died. Snakes can ingest substrate and poop it out just fine. I have seen this happen multitude of times.

Re: Turbine eating in the air.
My suspicion is that there are two snakes in the one enclosure and that is the real reason for feeding outside.

Even if I do try to feed in the enclosure, all she does is tunnel. She doesnt come out to eat. I tried before with the repti carpet, she wouldnt come out of the hide.

Really? That's a relief to know. I've been so scared of my snakes dying from impaction since I've had more than one person tell me their snake died after ingesting substrate.
I will see if I can get my BP to eat in his enclosure.
The rosy is a lost cause though. Maybe he's "mentally handicapped" (since it won't let me say the other word?).

If you looked more deep into those people you'd find common husbandry errors I am sure. The snake or snakes could have been ill already for something else in the husbandry. Lack of heat or whatever.
I picture it this way, these animals don't have paper towel or plates or plastic in the wild. I am sure some gets in and they do just fine.
