Do you feed in or out of the enclosure?

[JodanOrNoDan]

Now, to answer the OP question: Always INSIDE the enclosure. I have experience with both in and out, but it has been over 15 years since I fed outside the enclosure. I was young, new and still learning way back then (though still learning today too, there's ALWAYS more to learn ) and have since dispelled the "myths" about feeding outside the enclosure through my own experience as well as plenty of research.

So, in conclusion, through years of experience and research I see NO benefit to feeding outside the enclosure. Granted, there are exceptions to every rule, I personally haven't found the exception to this rule.

I only have one girl that breaks the rule. I got her as an adult that only ate live. I tried every known method to get her to eat FT. Nothing worked. So, I decided to establish a pattern to get her to eat. I would throw her in another tub let her see a live rat and get her good and fired up. Then I would drop the rat in and boom. I then started doing the same thing with FT. Eventually I got her eating FT in her own tub, but every year, after she drops her eggs I have to go through the same thing to get her eating in her tub again.
