I really don't want her to start striking at my hand when I reach into her tank because she thinks I'm going to feed her there...
as the user above me has already stated it's a pain trying to move them after they eat. hatchlings arent so bad but when you're trying to move a fully grown adult that just ate a medium rat but could definitely eat another if she wanted to she will most certainly be in strike mode for awhile. point is, I've used both ways and I feed out of the normal enclosure since about 3 years ago, saves time and you don't have to worry about trying to put them back in. they shouldn't confuse you with food when you reach in to grab them, just make sure you wait a day or two after feeding to get them out. some people will say less some will say more but in my experience a day or two is plenty. also remember if there is any blood/other excrements from the rat in the tank after feeding it's probably best to change it after that one to two day period.

hope this helps
