Should i feed my snake inside his cage?
If you ONLY OPEN YOU SNAKES CAGE TO FEED HIM, eventually he will associate opening the tank with feeding and be become aggressive. If you HANDLE YOUR SNAKE REGULARLY (other than feedings) there should not be a problem because he will become used to you. I feed my ball in a separate tank because it’s easier to watch the live mice and intervene if things get dangerous. then I gently pick him up when the mouse is completely swallowed and put him back in his tank. My corn snakes are fed in their cages because they will eat F/T mice and I don’t need to watch them. All of my snakes are handled often and I haven’t had any problems with aggressive snakes. Add: Feeding in a separate tank lined with paper towels or news paper also ensures he won’t eat any substrate.
