It doesn't make any difference. Do whatever is most convenient for you. Some people like tub feeding because they clean out enclosures while the snakes are eating or maybe because they use a loose substrate but it makes no difference to temperament

Always fed my gtps in their clickclacks a d enclosures. Olive, bhp the same. Never had a problem handling. Got tagged once by the bhp cause I reentered my hand just after food. My fault completely

lolI feed my snake in her enclosure with no issues, no aggression at all, no association with food when/if i slide the glass doors open. The only time she will go into a feeding response is when she see's the mouse in front of her (or smells it) even when i put my hand straight in her enclosure after feeding theres no aggression.

I feed my Bredli in his enclosure. He doesn't really associate the door opening=food. He appears to be more curious as to why the door is opening... I can change his water with him watching from 10cm or so away no drama.
Only time he realises there's food is if it's in his face and he can smell it. In saying that I accidentally dropped the rat one and he was staring at my hand like it was a meal... never ripped my hand out so fast. No bites yet, but I've only had him 3-4months...

I feed some in there enclosure, some of my other pythons are fed in click clacks because they are breeders I house together. None of mine are aggressive
It is easier to keep track of them this way too.
Even when they go in/out of the click clacks there arnt aggressive. I use them while I clean enclosures aswel as feeding

i feed all mine in there enclosure, the only time i would take it out to feed if i had loose substrate eg. newspaper pellets,aspen.
my jungle choked once when i fed it on newspaper pellets i had to get tweezers and pull some out then he pooped a block of paper pellets lol

I feed mine out of the enclosure, mostly because i use a loose substrate and it's a good opportunity to give the enclosure a bit of a clean. It works for me, never had aggression issues or anything.
I don't think it matters either way, you should do what feels best for you.

I think the majority of people only feed out of enclosure if theyre worried about the snake eating substrate with the meal. In my opinion the whole "feeding in enclosure encourages cage aggressiveness" is ridiculous. A snake can tell the difference between a hand picking it up and a rat bouncing in front of its face.
You shouldnt have any problems with feeding in the enclosure.

I actually want to be bitten by a large carpet just so i know what it feels like and to prepare myself, if it hurts then i'll definatly make sure i give them no reason to bite (or use a hook as in ur case), but if it dont hurt then i wont be quite as scared to handle the bitey end if i had to.
I may only be a spotted owner but ive been bitten by some pretty ouchy things haha
The bites dont hurt!!!! they just make u jump out ya skin and make a bloody mess........i had 2 lurchers in the UK (1 3/4 wippet and the other 3/4 greyhound....rabbit dogs....)...well the greyhound lurcher hung itself upside down on barb wired fence and when i went to release it ...it gave me a bite ...first dog to bite me....its K9 went straight though my Plam and out other side...it was a hospital job....snakes dont bite...and angry upset dog DOES!!!!!!!
