^^^ This. Don't know where the whole cage aggression thing came from, but it's absolutely not true. I can't imagine trying to handle either of my snakes in feed mode. The majority of keepers these days will say the same thing. Feeding in the enclosure reduces stress on the snake, circumvents bite incidents, and is just overall easier and safer.
