Holy cow! I didn't think anybody else around here fed in a separate enclosure. I got started on that at the advice of the seller as well as a number of sites and books. Anyway, its partly snake and partly owner personality but I really like it and so does my snake.

Besides the standard reasons I actually think it makes the whole thing easier and safer for the snake.
