Who feeds in the cage vs outside

In cage here

I feed in cage but we tried feeding outside for a few weeks a couple months ago and he seems to like being fed in his cage better.

In the cage. Just easier and less stressful for my girl and for me.

Same ^^^^

Plus my Royals will only eat in their OWN vivs ..

I wouldn't fancy moving an 18' food frenzied Retic from a viv to container back to a viv ..

In the enclosure. It's both easier for me and less stressful for the snakes.

There's zero downsides to feeding in their enclosure.

Once you have over 50+ snakes it's a lot easier to feed in their enclosures lol.

I feed in the enclosure...its just easy that way

Yes in the tub. Very easy with 40+ snakes ATM. Most snakes take the rat before it even hits the ground.

On feeding day I put the rats in the snake room 2-3 hours prior to scent the room and let them known it's time, and feeding response is always great.

None of my snakes have mistaken me for food on either feeding or non feeding days. I just don't put my hands in their face when I open the tubs, because they will come out very interested in my movements.

I once posted this question on The Reptile Report and found it interesting how many folks fed outside the enclosure. In my opinion it's not only not needed, but in some cases it's more dangerous than feeding in the enclosure. I always feed, and have always fed, all my snakes in their enclosures.

In. Always. Try moving a large Burmese in feed mode, or try getting a green tree out of her cage at night when everything that moves is a target. And then there are those balls who will refuse if you even look at them wrong, much less take them out of their comfort zone.
