Do You Feed In Your BP's Enclosure/Tub/Tank?

[prettyballsy]

I was reading the thread about people being tagged by their bp's and so many seem to be stories of just an aggressive feed response. I was just wondering if most of you feed in your snake's enclosure or if you feed in something else. I have a different tub set aside for feeding and it sure didn't take my babies long to figure out the routine! Thing is even at their hungriest they seem to know they have to come out to get fed so they don't lunge out at me. Usually they're crawling out and onto my arm like, "C'mon, get this show on the road. I'm hungry here." My two normal boys were adults and gentle when I got them so its not a fair comparison but my baby female was a snappy little thing and now she follows the same routine as the big boys. They don't get jumpy until they're in their feed tub. On that note, my daughter wasn't paying attention and Kashmir did raise right out of that tub and tag the rat before she even had it half off her lap. He was like a ball python jack-in-the-box. Scared her sister and hooked my youngest daughter for life. She's like "So cool Mom!"

I feed both in tub my ball cuz he dont care long as there is food when he is hungry. My carpet cuz I don't wanna move a seven foot snake when it's feeding time ha

I feed my ball python in his enclosure. Moving just increases stress/messes with temps and I've been told you're more likely to get bit feeding them in a separate tub, because they begin to associate being moved with eating.

I have a feeding tub separate from his enclosure. He's always been really tame, so I'm not too worried about getting mistaken for food. But we're both used to the feeding tub now, and he knows what's up with the purple tub, haha. He knows that when he goes in, food's sure to follow. I'd rather not switch up my routine now, just because we both know what to expect.
I also handle him frequently aside from feeding, so as long as he can't see that tub he's perfectly fine with hanging out on my arm. I know some people leave their guys alone for the most part, but Magnus likes body heat too much to deny him that, lol.

I feed in their enclosures.
I don't want to be bit moving it to and from a feedin container

I feed all of my snakes in the enclosure. The feeding response is better with less stress. And no cage aggression, which is a myth anyway.

I feed in their enclosure/tub. Less stress for them and it's a lot easier/faster for me. Haven't had any offer to tag me yet (except my enchi, but he tries to tag me always, he just wants a taste )

I feed in a separate tub. My girl's a smart one and caught on very quickly. (In another thread I mentioned how she bit herself once before I even lowered the mouse in because she was so excited.) I think the main reason I don't get tagged is because right when she's done, she crawls out. I've had no problems.

Then again, I think it really depends on the snake when it comes down to which way works best.

In the enclosure. For all of the reasons mentioned above.
