i feed outside for my 2 snakes. the normal one now has a year and a half with me and hasnt refuse feeing and i feed her oustide since her first meal with me, samething with the pastel that i got 2 months ago hes an 09...he feeds every 5 days and feed outside since his first meal with me too and no problems so far. i feed outside not because some people debate that there is a less chance of you getting bit when you reach for your snake in its enclosure because it might mistake your hands for prey, i feed outside because there is a less chance of you ending up with a snake that swallow some bedding and ended up with mouth rot BUT this does not apply to those who use paper towels or newspaper as bedding. i use aspen bedding because it's easier for me to spot clean then to change the whole paper. But im not suggesting to feed outside if you have numerous snakes because it's going to make it harder on you. i will recommend you to stick with feeding in cage if you have a sub adult or adult that has been feeding in its cage since it was a juvinile or a hatchling because if you switch it to feeding outside they might get stress out because its something new to them and will refuse feeding. if you have a snake that is a hatchling or juvinile then now is your chance do decide how are you going to feed it. But again that depends how many snakes you have and if you use newspaper or paper towels as bedding.
