I have always fed my snakes in a separate tub - I find nothing wrong with this method at all. My snakes go into the tub - they know it's feeding time and sit there like puppies waiting to be fed. When they are done - they are carefully moved back to their tub and life goes on.

We moved last summer - hubby used my feeding tubs to move some of his garage stuff - so with no tubs I was stuck feeding them in their cages - and got lazy - yeah it sure is convenient feeding in the cage. However now my sweet little snakes attack anything that enters their tubs at night - I swear they are like my GTP. I keep telling myself I need to get new tubs, but it sure is convenient. Oh yeah it's always fun to go tipping hides two days later to find that rat that someone decided they didn't want to eat but it's stinking up the room.

In a nutshell - do what works for you and your animals.
