Well, it doesn't go like it did in the video just by magic. And of course, they were skiddish and it was difficult at first. But they learn to trust, and adapt, and come to learn that when the hand comes in with the tongs, it's feeding time. They don't know that at first. Takes time and a little patience to teach them that.

Once they learn it, even the most skiddish snakes will come rushing out toward your hand/tongs when they're hungry, instead of shying away. I can't even keep them off my hands and out of the way long enough to change their water or spot clean. They're all over me!
