I used to believe it was better to feed outside the tank. But I was wrong. Now I do was suggested to me by several professionals, I feed each snake in the cage. I use a hook to take each snake out of the cage for play, and when it's feeding time only a rat on hemostats goes into the cage. The smell and see either a cold hook, or a rat. They are very good at telling whether it is a rat or not. Just to be sure I touch them with the hook a couple times before picking them up with it. It's amazing how fast they calm down when they feel that hook. Having done both I can say this is much better.
