hi guys
Ive kept spiders and lizards for many years now but id not kept snakes since i was a kid so last year i got myself a carpet python shes about 6 or 7 foot or so now anyway before getting her when i was doing my research and scouring various msg forums id read that it was best to feed outside of the enclosure as it can cause problems with feeding responses whenever you open the enclosure which sounded reasonable when i first read it but the more time i spent reading i realised this theory more often than not got ridiculed or disputed so over the last 4 month ive just been feeding her in her enclosure and to be honest ive noticed a big difference especially if its nearing feeding day i ended up copping for a good old bite when she took my hand for a rat last month i tried feeding her abit more but i dont think thats the case she'd eat and eat and eat if i let her anyway its made me think is it just coincidence or could me feeding her in her enclosure caused her going straight into feeding mode asoon as i open her up ?
