Heres a topic i havent seen yet, how many of you guys allways feed your snakes in thier tank. The advice i was given by the store owner was to use a feeding box. The snake is very happy to go into the box with the food (defrosted smelts at the moment) and eats without any fuss or worry usually circles the food 2 or 3 times getting closer and closer and then seems to pounce I would assume this is as close to hunting behaviour as i am likley to see, with dead food. So the conclusion to this post - feeding box or tank feeding - which do you think is best.
