Re: Would love your opinions
I used to feed in a separate box when I had one or two snakes. With 31 now that's not feasible.
Also, I was tagged twice by my Mexican Black King because she was still in "food mode" when I tried to move her from the feeding box back into her enclosure. Fortunately she was still pretty little at the time, but she was bound and determined to swallow my finger until I waved a vinegar-soaked cotton ball under her nose.

I also feed in the same enclosure I learned that lesson a while back when my first snake was still alive. When they are in feed mode and you end up grabbing them the they could lose the urge to eat.

This. I have some fatty snakes and I know for a fact I would get bit by moving them to a separate enclosure. Feeding in their own enclosure is perfectly fine

Exactly - I feed in the enclosure and never had a problem. Actually I rarely have off feeds either. Much less stress IMO.
