    The only reason I don't feed in tank is because I don't like rat or mouse feces in the tank.

    Feed out of tank at first for awhile, stressed out my snakes way to much. So I started feeding in tank and they started refusing less. I almost got my stomach hit a couple times though with hungry snakes launching out of tubs. Now I am more cautious.

    It's a proven fact that feeding out of the enclosure will cause all your children to be born naked...

    I always have and always will. I have never been bitten from any my animals when I reach in to handle. They always have their tongue going and smell whenever I reach in, so they DO know when it's feeding time or handling time.

    I feed out of tank. It's how I've done it ever since I got my girl. I started doing it that way because I had heard the old line about her possibly becoming aggressive if I fed her in the cage. Now, after learning more, I realize that may not be the case. However, she's a good reliable feeder, so I don't plan on changing her feeding routine anytime soon.

    I have always fed my snakes inside their enclosure, and I've had no ill-effects from it. Snakes are rather clever. They know when I have a rat, and they know when I open the enclosure and it's just time to come out and play.

    I feed on the tank and always will. I have had some animals that would not eat outside the tubs, but when I feed in the tubs they always eat!
