If you search for feeding in enclosure threads, you will find that most people always recommend to feed in their enclosure. In my opinion, it is the best and safest way to feed.

I was bitten when I was messing with Micron's tub a couple days after we brought him home. I was adjusting his AccuRite, and I guess he didn't like it too much! He tagged me, I screamed, then laughed. He was only a few week old at that point, didn't hurt at all.

BTW: Get some tongs!
