I feed him in a seperate container so he doesn't associate me reaching into his area with feeding. Not lookin to get bit anytime soon.

This is what I do right now. Once he gets bigger and he eats something bigger than fuzzies. Ill figure something else out. But this is what works for me right now. Just my 2 pennies.

Sorry for the long reply.
I have about 30 ball pythons and feed them in thier tubs and have never been "associated" for food. There is no reason to feed them in a separate container, espeially if it is eating fine already.
