I would definitely recommend feeding inside their enclosure. It's a lot better because you shouldn't really handle them before feeding, because if you keep them on a nice schedule they know that food is coming on the day so picking them up and trying to transport them to a feeding tub can sometimes get you bitten. You also shouldn't handle them after they have eaten because sometimes they will end up regurgitating their meal which is very stressful and hard on their digesting system. Also it's just easier for you and the snake! Once he eats inside his enclosure he can just slither on into his hide and digest in piece. I wouldn't worry about the saying that if you feed your snake in its enclosure it will associate anything coming in with food. I don't think this is true at all. Some people think that snakes are dumb animals but they are not. They quickly learn the difference between your hand and a rodent. They know they can eat you so why would they bother even trying. Now if you've been handling a rodent and you have the scent on your hand that's the owners fault not the snakes. If you handle your snake it will learn even faster that I get fed on this day and everyone day if something comes in it might be that warm thing that lets me slither around lol. So if I were you I'd feed inside the enclosure I hope I could help. Keep us updated on if he eats better feeding inside than out.
