This is a common myth that a ball python will become cage-aggressive when fed in their enclosure. This is NOT the case. I will recommend exactly the opposite, that you feed in the snake's normal enclosure. Removing them from the enclosure to feed starts off by stressing the snake to move them, which will make them far less likely to eat. Not to mention that if they DO eat, then you have to move them AGAIN after feeding to move them back to their enclosure, which is highly stressful and can cause regurgitation. (remember the 24-48 hour no handling after feeding rule?)
