I've read that when you feed a snake you should feed him somewhere out of the tank, (even if it's the bath tub) for a number of reasons.
At first I thought it was because you don't want him biting you every time you put your hand in thinking your food. I wasn't worried about that (even if he did bite me), so I didn't bother. I just put his fish in his water bowl, and and the worms wherever was convenient.

But now I'm thinking about getting a second snake, and it seems like it might be easier to feed two snakes if I'm feeding them separately.

My biggest concern is:
My snake, ever since I caught him, has been jumpy and gets kind of stressed when I take him out of his cage. I worked to the point where he is okay with me picking him up, and he'll eat put of my hand. He is no longer scared of me, but probably wouldn't eat if I had just picked him up and put him somewhere else.

I know it's not necessary, but would that be the best option? And if so, how can I get him to eat like that?
