I personally feed my snakes outside the enclosure, although I only have three juvenile ball pythons. I've never had a bad response from moving them, and prefer feeding out of the cage so I can watch my special (wounded and a bit less mobile) snake so he doesn't get hurt by the live rodent. I was told by the initial breeder to move them so they don't develop a habit of associating you with food.
