    Just one question: why on earth is she being fed on a carpet floor in the middle of a room?

    Honestly cannot tell you. It's my son.. No clue why je wont leave her in her enclosure.

    I would just be concerned about a regurge or getting tagged putting the snake back.

    Yay little girl! Glad her deformed tongue can now be more of a quirk than a problem.

    He's read some people say take them out and put them in a box to eat. She FREAKS when he tried that one time. Never again.
    Others say leave them in their enclosure, yet others say if you leave them in their enclosure they may see your hand as food every time you put your hand in there (with or without food) and strike at your hand.

    I'm working on him.

    Eating in the enclosure is best. You don't have to move the snake with a full belly. It does not make them more aggressive, if anything, you risk a bite handling a snake (by moving it back and forth) during feeding time.

    However, at this point, whatever works works! Its great she learned to eat on her own. Just introduce her to eating in her tank, she will be fine. Wait a extra couple of days before feeding so she is hungry, and be patient. Most likely she will eat just fine.

    I'm working on him.

    I have fed all of my snakes in their enclosures for all the years I've been keeping snakes. Never once have I been struck at INSIDE the enclosure.

    Basically the whole seperate feeding tub theory has been put to rest and proven counter productive over time.
