Great video again! Following your example I do the same thing of opening up the enclosure and waiting to see if my corn snake comes out. Some nights she is out and waiting to be let out, others she is tucked away but if I go in to change waters I will leave the tank open for an hour or so to see if she wants to come out. Sometimes she will just lay on the opening and not come fully out, other times she checks out the door and goes back in a hide, or she ignores the open door and doesn't come out, or she will shift herself out and I set up her play tent. It is interesting to see what day she wants to come out and other days not so much, but I like giving her the option. Looking forward to the school video, I am sure your inland was a huge hit!
i love this so much!! always excited to watch a new video from you :). i have a question, if you don’t mind answering. do you have any tips for when you need to put a snake back, but they get fearful? my 1.5 year old corn snake (who i started doing choice handling with a few months ago, and just began target training with) came out last night and i put her into a new exercise tent i got for her while i did some enclosure cleaning. when i was done it was late and i needed to put her back, but when i gently picked her up, she squirmed and fled, which surprised me as she is usually okay with this. i’m assuming she was just overwhelmed with all of the new sensations and stimulation and got fearful of me, or maybe she just wanted to stay put. what i ended up doing was waiting a few moments and calmly scooped her up again, which she disliked, but she did not flee. she also was out and about in her enclosure afterwards which usually tells me she wasn’t so fearful as to hide from me. i didn’t want to cause her to have a negative experience though, and i felt quite bad! do you have any tips for a situation like this? thank you so much for all your amazing work :)!!
I usually target them back into their enclosure, wait for them to be in or on something I can pick up and put into their enclosure with them in or on it, pick them up IF they are comfortable and relaxed with handling, or leave them in the tent until a better time when they are ready to go back on their own or get us die a hide I can lift out.
Pushing a dog’s hindquarters down with your hand to get them to sit and reinforcing at the same time. I don’t use it with animals or I rarely use it. It’s physically helping them into position to “show them” the behavior you want. I don’t have any video examples because I just don’t do it, it’s coercive.

I wish I could do this. My house is relatively small and I've got cats and dogs.
We have cats and dogs as well. The training can take Pam just around the door area of the enclosure and doesn’t need to include a large space.
