Question
hi i was wondering is it nessesary to move my snake to another tank when im going to feed if so. why

Answer
Hey Raul,

It is a good idea to feed in another tank. The best thing to use is a plastic tub. Like the ones you use to put clothes into.

The reason is to keep him from thinking your hand is food every time you reach in to grab him. If you feed him in another container then he will associate your hand with picking him up to get food and will be less inclined to bite you every time you reach in.
