Feed in cage or separate cage?

I have one snake that I keep on display (my normal male bp, my very first and favorite :) ) and he stays in a tank, he feeds in a separate container because having to reach in to take him out I don't want to get mistaken for food. As for my other snakes in the rack, they all eat in their containers, with little to no issues. It's funny because my normal male who eats separately knows exactly what's going to happen when he gets put in his feeding cage, he watches me in the kitchen lol.

I feed my Ball Python in a seperate enclosure as well.

Our BP's are fed in their tubs. I finally moved Gene into a tub permanently. Before that, I fed him in the tub because I didn't feel comfortable feeding in the tank. It was difficult for me to control what happened. Now that he's in the tub, I see no reason to move him.

hmmm even though this question is two years old im new here and so is your question.haa
i feed mine in the enclosure like alot has mentioned already.
less stress on the snake being scooped up,takin to new bare enviroment,eat,get scooped again,put back home.my bp is super shy when it comes to eating.i have to leave the room or shell keep peeking at me after constricting her prey.she wasnt eating for the place i got her from but she never rejects anything i offer her here while in her enclosure.but the main thing is do whatever works for you and your snake.

I feed mine in my cage because I am lazy, and I'm not going to go to the trouble of shifting snakes around.

Works fine for me. The snakes eat well, and they don't try to eat my hands.

I did try feeding outside the cage with my one female who was cage aggressive at the time and it didn't stop her from striking. Using a cage hook to pick her up for a while was what changed her behavior.

I got a couple of tubs and a couple of display tanks, all eat in their own homes, and I've never had problems with my hand mistaken for food when its not feeding time. Except for once when I forgot to wash my hands and wait a while after cleaning my mice cage. I dont like to do it in a seperate area. first its unnecessary stress, and especially when you have shy snakes that dont eat well, it might throw them off. I like to let my snakes feed near their hide with half of them still inside. also it takes too much time to wait for them to finish eating and move them back. means you have to watch every single one eat.

Depends on the snake. If it is a shy/small/docile snake (bps, the dumeril's, or even the carpet), I'm good feeding them in the enclosure. Most of them are on larger aspen pieces (or in the case of my carpet, on mixed bark.. but usually hanging out waaaay up at the top in the 'trees' of the cage), and have little chance of swallowing any pieces while eating.

As for cage agression with the snakes that will eventually be bigger, like my coastal carpet, I only offer her food in her cage after the lights go out because 1) I will never really have any reason to get her out during the night to handle her and 2) she's too busy sleeping and ignoring food if I offer in the middle of the day.

We feed the two bigger burms in the bathtub for a couple reasons -
1) Their mouths are large enough to potentially swallow the loose bedding in their enclosures.

2) They're both so huffy and puffy about coming out of their cages anyway, but have never struck except while shedding, and I'd like to feel more confident that the "angry body twitches/spasms" are purely defensive "leave me alone" movements, and not going to turn into a "oh it's food time!" movements. When they go into the bathtub for food, their entire body language changes, and while yes, they might lunge or snap from the tub as well after feeding - I feel like I have much better range of motion and ability to avoid issue in a full bathroom, than while possibly wrestling a snake that is longer than I am tall, from or around it's enclosure.

I understand that they can still strike aggressively from their cage, but so far it has been avoidance techniques, and I never want to even slightly make that connection that aggression is a possibility within their enclosure.

3) It is so much easier to wash poop and blood from a bathtub.

4) The girl burm is the WORST snake about finding the head on her rats.. I don't know why she sucks at it.. but she does... and I find the easiest way to make feeding time not last 4 hours, is to hold the rat by the tail a foot directly above her head, so that when she grabs it, it's head is already in her mouth.. and she starts to swallow it.

I always feed separate that way I don't forget the rats in there for long and there not on risk of been bitten by the rats, I also see how my snake reacts diffrent once she goes on the feeding tub like in hunt mode.
The reason why I went to a feeding tub is because I got nipped 2 times by 2 different snakes but heyis all up to you

I feed all my snakes in there own tubs, I haven't seen any cage aggression in the years ive been feeding in the tubs.
