Just another view... I feed 11 of my 12 snakes in a separate feeding tub and have no issues getting any of them to eat. The one picky eater is very shy and will only eat in her tub. If I try to feed her outside of her tub she wants nothing to do with the mouse and trys to escape the tub... Put her back in her tub and drop the mouse in and its a whole different story... I like the feeding tub becuase it lets them know food is on the way.

I know its supposed to be a myth but I did run into an issue where it was feeding day and I was short on my patience and decided to feed one of my girls in her tank... She took the rat with no issues but come a couple days later I went to take her out and she tagged me. I think this may be just bc she was so use to getting fed in another tub and then I switched it up on her so she probably thought hey foods on the way.

With that said the one snake that does eat inside her enclosure shes as sweet as can be! I say do whatever works for the snake as long as they eat
