Feeding Ball Pythons

I like feeding in the enclosure, because not only is it a bit less of a hassle, but it also means that the snake doesn't associate your hand and your scent with food, so you're more likely to have a snake that's easier to handle and less nippy when handling around feeding days.

I feed in a seperate tub....But Not because I'm afraid she'll become aggressive....My adult female is a big girl and honestly, there's just not much room in her tank with all her husbandry. Not only that, but I don't want her swallowing the substrate, and I feed live Med rats. While feeding in a seperate tub it'll be easier to interveen if I have to in case the rodent trys to bite my girl lol. She always takes her food with no hesitation what so ever...After eating I let her sit for awhile then I put her back in her tank. She's never regurged and hasn't striked at me when I go to get her out of her feed tub...Works for me, but not everyone is the same....&& if you own alot of snakes this would def be too time consuming....

It really depends on preference and what your snake wants. I prefer feeding outside their enclosure because sometimes my snake will get aspen in its mouth and I have to play dentist. But sometimes, your snake doesn't want to eat in a separate enclosure.

I have multiple snakes and sometimes in the enclosure is the only way.

I use newspaper for substrat and I feed almost all of my snakes in their tubs. I have one corn snake that just plain won't eat if you drop a F/T mouse in his tub, but put him in a little bit smaller box and presto he eats. :D

MY snakes all live in 42qt sweater boxes... I feed that one snake in this size container:

I used to keep yearling corns in them, now they are empty and are "holding bins" for when I feed that one snake, plus when I am cleaning all of my snakes' tubs they go in these for a few minutes.

I feed in there enclosure. Its where its most comfortable at.

Depends for me. It depends on your animal and your preference. Some animals do not like to be fed outside their enclosure. I like to sometimes because I sometimes have to catch some aspen from going in their mouths. Its not all the time but it happens.
