It's unnecessary to feed in a separate enclosure...the myth revolves around them associating the cage with feeding and being aggressive while inside it. This is entirely inaccurate. If it were true, wouldn't it also stand to say that if you feed outside the enclosure that the snake will associate being taken out of his home with feeding and therefore become aggressive when not in his cage?



This is probably the issue with your snake. She is accustomed to being taken out of her cage for feeding, so she goes into feeding mode when removed, even if it isn't feeding day. She should stop this if you start feeding her in her enclosure, and she learns that being removed is only for handling.
