why does everyone hate on out of cage feeding?

[Claire&snek]

I guess I’m the only one with a snake that should eat outside the enclosure…she really has no issues with it and it has worked great for the past 2 years (she is also a ball python so it is not that hard to carefully place her plastic tub in her enclosure and let her carefully slither back herself). With different snakes it’s definitely different.

Maybe I wasn’t clear but that is what I do with the plastic tub/plate in the enclosure.

I have always fed in a plastic container outside of the enclosure because my snake will roll her wet frozen thawed rat around and if It were in her enclosure (eco earth substrate) it would look like someone covered a desert in Oreo and chocolate. She also has an amazing feeding response and doesn't care whatsoever even if with an audience. I say if it has always worked and your snake is fine with it than no need to switch methods which could cause stress too. This is just my snake and my positive experience though and is not always true for everyone.

So you thought we were discussing feeding snakes out of their enclosure freely on the floor?

If you are feeding in a tub OUTSIDE the enclosure that is feeding outside.

If you are feeding on a tub lid or plate in the enclosure that is feeding inside.

Ok, well then I guess I feed in the enclosure then-if feeding in a tub IN THE ENCLOSURE counts… instead of in the enclosure like in the hide or wherever the snake wants to drag it, then yes. And no, I did not think you were feeding on the floor but very funny

I used to do it when my snakes were in 50gals, switched to tubs and since they have all been in breeding facilities they would only eat in their tubs. I would definitely feed them in a separate container if they would eat.
