I suppose so and I wish I could try. I always thought feeding in the tank made cleanup more difficult, though..who knows?

Oh well, I'm sorry. :c

I sent it to her lol

I wouldn't recommend arguing with your parents but maybe you could slyly watch this video when they are around.

-------> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jt0iBCWzCOE (snake bytestv 10 worst advice) If they don't let you feed in the enclosure then just make the best of the situation. A lot of people still believe that feeding in enclosure causes snakes to bite at you ( which is what is happening to you ) it's just no one told my ball python that feeding in the enclosure should cause her aggression, she never got the memo, and hasn't tried to bite me once. I think a lot of other balls didn't get the memo from what I've heard here and on snakebytestv

My original thought was that the snake was trying to tell you it wanted fresh food instead of frozen dinners, but then I saw it is fed in a separate container and now I think its the added stress.

Feeding in a separate container doesn't stress out snakes. I feed all five in seperate bin and they rarely skip a meal.
Now I would love to think that I lucked out but I doubt it.

It can cause stress. Luckily, ball pythons are pretty hardy and can sometimes thrive is sub-optimal conditions.
