Need help with how I feed my snake!

Hello everyone!

First time poster here, wondering if anyone can help me out.

I have a 3 year old 5 ft albino cornsnake who came to me about a month ago. She has been fed in pillowcases for a long time and we cannot get her to eat any other way. We tried putting her in the tub and feeding her as we feed all our snakes outside the tank with tongs. She will not even attempt to go for food, will try to get out of tub instead. It's not a big deal but I'd love to see her feed and was wondering how I can and IF I can get her out of the pillowcase habit?

Thanks!
 
A month is not a long time for them... I noticed one of my adults became more active and settled in after as much as 2 months... Maybe start feeding in the pillowcase IN the viv as a start? And then feed closer and closer to the opening? Or feed in pillow case with a cover over the viv or without pillow case with blanket over the viv and then slowly reduce remove blanket...
