The point I am getting at is they get bigger and have big appetites, especially females

I find that picking up my snakes will throw them off feed for the time being, after all they think I'm taking them out to play, not to eat
It's all in how you program them, feeding in or out of the enclosure is a personal decision and as long as the snake eats and stays healthy then it doesn't matter which you do.
