How should i feed my snake?
You should think twice before feeding a snake in a seperate “feeding enclosure.” Snakes are creatures of habit, and if it gets used to getting picked up and moved to receive its meal, it will eventually begin snapping at you in anticipation of its meal. This behavior will be even more likely if you don’t handle your snake often, and only take it out to feed it. As others have suggested, you should use a long set of tongs, tweezers, or hemostats to feed your snake safely. And just to let you know, measuring your snakes shedding is not an accurate wy to measure the length of your snake, and the shed skin will have stretched out considerably in the sheding process. The easiest way to measure your snake if you don’t have any clear restraining tubes would be to let it loose next to a solid surface, such as a wall, with a tape measure already set out on the floor, and try to keep him hugging the wall as he moves along. It may take a few tries, but that’s how I measure my snakes. Good luck!
