What he said. I think the reason that people give as to why you should use a separate container is the exact reason not to use a separate container. Why would you want them to associate being taken out of their enclosure with eating?

Or maybe you need to wash your hands more often...:p

Personally I think feeding them in a separate container is a total waste of time. Not all my snakes are handled regularly and unless there is food in the room with me I haven't had any tag me as a feeding response when opening their tubs.

That is great to get everyone's personal opinion on to feed in or out of the enclosure, I will try feeding him in his enclose ad see what he thinks :) Now I have another question, my boy is just a year old and is currently eating once a week and on that feeding eats FT hoppers. When I got him his feeding day was Friday but I had to change it to Sunday ( he ate for me the day after I got him ). How do you tell if he is eating enough? I was going to add in another feeding so it would be Sun and Thurs while still on the hoppers, then after my box is gone try switching him to adult mice. Any thoughts on how much he should be eating and how often, I would hate for him to be hungry :)
