When I got my first snake, I was told to feed in a separate enclosure. I basically waited until he was finished eating and started moving around the tub, then I would gently lift him out, taking care not to grab him around his stomach. I just put one hand in front of his stomach and one behind his stomach, then I would place him in his tank and leave him alone for a couple of days. Once I got him converted over to Frozen/Thawed I just started feeding him in his tank because I didn't have to worry about the rats climbing on everything I had in his tank and hiding or escaping. It is completely up to you whether or not you feed in their enclosure or a separate tub...
