I nearly always feed in their vivs/tubs. The exceptions are the cohabitters, usually I feed one in the tub, one in a spare tub, and the other eats whilst I hold her.
As for the feeding frenzy going away, my anery motley is in a feeding mood right up to the following feed!
I take the lid off her tub and she comes up with it! She is a very very good feeder!
As above with boas, anyone who sticks their hands in a viv with an adult boa at feeding time is gonna end up hurting, lots.

(Boasting like mad)

So is my royal!

(Whoever said royals were fussy feeders? Admit he was a slow starter but now ...WOW!)

But, as I said, boasting ...

Well it's feeding time tomorrow so we shall see what Izzy is like! Hopefully she'll go back in without too much hassle! At least she's far too small for it to matter if she wants to have a bash at my fingers!

We take Tango out of his viv and put him in a plastic container, then we feed him. It just seems easier to do it that way.

Best wishes

Hey I was wondering would a celebrations box be good enough to feed a corn snake on provided I put plenty of holes of air and neewspaper or paper towls
in it? U was thinking if this idea yesterday amd then I saw this thread - coz I have a celebrations box with holes in it from an H.E. Class a school were I made chocolate cake I had plenty of holes so it should be good for a snake air wise.

Hi. I'm not sure what a celebrations box is, but any secure cleanable box of suitable size, with airholes, is ideal. If you're planning on starting with a hatchling though, a good size of box is a cricket or mealworm box (about the size of a large marge carton). A shop selling live food should be able to provide such a box - mine gave me a few. Or in fact a marge carton with a clear lid (so that you can check the snake) and airholes, or one of those clear plastic cartons they sell small cakes/buns in, would do too.

Me and Jordan feed our snakes in a shoe box and both our snakes are strikers to and quite happy to have no lid on but I always keep an eye out for Jordan's snake and he'll do the same for me.
