I also endorse in tank feeding! We just got out first ball at the beginning of January where it was eating 1-2 live adult mice for the first 4 weeks in a separate tub. After deciding to convert him to F/T rats we kept the practice of putting him in a different tub and he would not take it. After 3 missed feedings and a shed as well as reading articles from Justin Kobylka and discussions here on BP-Net, I decided on feeding him in his tank. He took it after just a couple minutes of dangling and doing the zombie rat dance. Now it's like those YouTube vids on feeding F/T you see where he's going right for it when you open the tank with rat on tongs during feeding day. On top of this, he's still a very mellow snake. As long as my hands are clean a noob like me can still reach in there with confidence any time I feel like handling him.
