I have over 20 ball pythons and have no issues feeding them in the afternoon when there’s still light out. Mine don’t ever refuse food except a few individuals when they’re in shed, and during known reasons such as the breeding season.
All of my other hatchlings besides two have had to be assist fed so far. The rest have taken at least 1-2 or more meals.

I also feed live, which is controversial in itself but I will not argue about that.

What works for you is fine, and you should keep doing that... but don’t make judgments on others for doing it differently if it works for them, and their snakes are healthy.
