poll do you feed in tank?

Yep. Always have. There is absolutely no difference in temperament. In fact, pulling them out of their enclosure can cause some to stress and not want to eat.

*Edit. And I don't see where the number of snakes a person has should matter. I was feeding in the enclosure before I had more than 10.

I never remove mine to feed them. It's more convenient to feed them in their enclosures, seems less stressful for them, and I get a great feeding response.

It's hard enough to get them all to eat inside their enclosure, nevermind disrupting them and removing them for feeding. Not even an option to me. I also have never received a feeding response bite.

I figured if a person had one or two snakes it would make a difference as opposed to someone who has a bunch.

i have 5 bp's and just leave them in their tubs when feeding

[RobNJ]

I have done both...currently I feed live, all in their tubs. I had fed in separate containers for quite a long time, up until about 2 years ago. I have noticed absolutely zero difference between feeding in a snake's enclosure vs. feeding in a separate one. I have been bitten pretty much an equal amount of times between the two as well.

I feed all of mine in their tubs and have yet to be bitten by any of them...although there is one female that makes me nervous, lol!

[heathers*bps]

Yup, feed all mine in their enclosures

Pulling them out of there tanks to feed them can really only lead to problems. I tried doing this with our Burmese and ending up with a 5 foot snake latched on to my hand wrapped around my arm. Not a pleasant experience, but it was MY fault for having rat scent and blood on me.

Just keep them in the tanks and you should be fine. What I do is, if they're getting fed I open the tank and put the food right in, if not I wait at least a minute then do what I opened the tanks to do.
