I am all for folks feeding whatever method works best for them, but for what it's worth, I feed all mine in their enclosures, and I honestly can't remember the last time I was bitten - it's been a few years now. I wouldn't want to be moving mine on feeding day.

My bites have either been from scared hatchlings or this one big adult that was scooting across the floor quickly and I went to grab her and startled her and she whipped back and hit me with a defensive bite.

Just out of curiosity, what kind of substrate do you use? Newspaper, paper towels? I have aspen bedding and that's why I feed mine in a separate container. I don't want him swallowing a bunch of aspen chips.

I also feed mine in their enclosures, and just got my first bite today - which was shed-related, not food-related! You can read about it on my thread "I jinxed myself..." ;)
