Do you feed in tank?

[Evenstar]

I feed all mine in their enclosures and have never had an issue with temperament. They all do seem to know when its feeding time though and I'm very careful with that. But any other day is completely a non-issue. I've never been bitten and I have no trouble reaching in any enclosure for any reason (except feeding day, lol....).

I take mine out to feed, but as mentioned by everyone else, I think it is in most cases unnecessary. I only do it because it works, it's what I've done with her since day one, I only have one ball python, and I haven't noticed any ill effects, and now I'm afraid to switch to feeding in tub incase THAT caused stress.... Highly unlikely, but that's my $.02

I at first would do the whole take out of tub and put them in another tub (and still do with the normal bp's.). But, with my anacondas and retic I feed them in there tub. When I'm not going to feed them I use my snake hook and rub there side and head. Then I can pick them up and take them out.
I suppose I could just leave my bp's in there tub to feed? I guess I just take them out to feed in another tub. Because, they are small now and even when adult's they'll be easy to handle either way.

I couldnt vote since I have 10 ball pythons, But i feed in the racks

[decensored]

yeah I feed in their bins. Its more convenient and less stressful for the animal. I have never had an issue with cage aggressiveness.

[HypoPita]

I have 8 ball pythons. I feed all of mine in tub, except the two that are only taking live, and only because that doesn't allow much room for feeding. No problems with them being cage aggressive.

ive only ever fed out of enclosure, and ive never once had a problem. i only do it cause i think its fascinating to watch, and ive never once had a problem with doing it, theyve always taken, always had great feeding responses, except during feeding strikes of course, but even then, i would try in the tank and they still wouldnt take it. just pay attention to how your snake acts if your taking them out to feed, if you think they look stressed, they probably are, but if they dont seem to care either way like mine, i say feel free to take them out

yeah just what I want to do, grab a ravenous 3000+ gram female ball python and take her out of her tub to feed her
