Simple answer - Feed him in his enclosure, but don't condition him to think every time you open the cage door that he is going to be fed. There are many ways to do this. When I go to feed, I tap the enclosure with a snake hook. They know what it means, and it doesn't take them long to associate the couple taps with food. Or, you could simply wait overnight and take him out in the morning. Usually they aren't as excited as when you first feed them.
