Do you condone the behavior? I mean, if he's snappy do you just give up and leave him alone?.. don't let them win. But also don't try to over handle.. And ditch the "feed tote". This is why it's essential to feed inside their normal enclosure. Now every time you take him out, he thinks it's eating time so he switches into feeding mode.
Just my opinion.
