That's a common myth that has been circulating for a while. Some people believe that feeding them in another enclosure will prevent the snake from acting agressively because it will associate the act of opening the cage with feeding. However, you will probably open the cage much more often to hold the snake, clean the cage, change the water, etc. so the snake will not think your hand is an invitation to bite and coil when you go reach for it.

With that said, some people still prefer to feed in another enclosure because they don't want to risk the snake ingesting substrate with their meal. This can potentially cause a problem if a wood chip gets stuck in the mouth or might cause an intestinal blockage according to some reports, but I'm sure it is not that common.

I believe most people here feed in the cage without any problems whatsoever. It causes less stress for the snake and it's less hassle for the owner.
