It sounds like you're using a separate feeding tub? I would definitely ditch the feeding tube and feed in his enclosure.

Feeding tubs are old school and proven counter productive over time. I honestly don't even know where people are still getting the idea to use them...
Anyway feeding tubs will:
A) increase the chance of the snake refusing it's meal. Moving = stress, stress = refusals.
B) increase the odds of a regurge. Moving the snake AGAIN = more stress. More stress = regurge.
C) increases your chance of being bitten. As mentioned above, snakes can remain in "feed mode" after eating and increase your chances of being bitten.

There's literally ZERO benefit of using a feeding tub.
Honestly, he loves coming out, he’s very social and being moved or handled isn’t stressful to him, and he trusts me enough to pick him up. He knows the difference between my hand and his food, as he instantly snaps out of his hunting mode when he sees my hand and goes back to wanting to be held, but obviously I can’t do that so I just move him back to his cage. Honestly, it seems to work out perfectly fine for us, and as he has aspen bedding, I don’t want it to get stuck to his mouse. And as for refusals, he hasn’t refused a meal for me yet, so that seems good as well.
