I feed all of my snakes in separate tubs. In the case of my female ball, that happens to be the bath tub because it's the only thing big enough that she doesn't have time to launch out at me before I can drop the rat. Lol. She nailed me when I tried to feed her in her enclosure. If I keep the food in another room, wash my hands and reach in to pick her up, no problems. She's totally mellow. I lay her in the bath tub and she waits patiently most of the time. It was a huge switch in her personality and behavior after I started feeding her there.

My male wouldn't eat in his enclosure. Stick him in his "feeding tub" and he's a beast.

My Dum knows when feeding day is. She calmly let me pick her up and put her in her feedin tub, then waits calmly for me to give her the rat pup. No problems there either. Come to think of it, if I take her out to hold her, she's flighty. Take her out to feed her, totally mellow.

They are all so different. Lol. It just really depends on what works best for you and your snakes.
