What kind of enclosure should I feed my corn in?

I read a different thread in which other users were talking about allergies some corn snakes have to plastic. The feeding cage I planned on using for my corn is made from plastic, and I have no desire to use it and possibly find out that it can hurt him. What should I use as his feeding cage?
 
I feed all my snakes in Rubbermaid tubs. Guess my snakes don't have allergies. The ones you just shipped to me don't have allergies do they Brent???
 
I feed mine in there original deli cups they came in or glad or ziploc disposable bowls. A lot of my snakes also live in plastic tubs. I don't think it's very common for snakes to be allergic to plastic. At least none of mine are. :)
 
Deli cups or a plastic shoebox work fine. Allergies in reptiles is rare so don't avoid plastic unless you see a skin reaction.
 
I feed the younger snakes in Gladwares. This is an old picture- most of these guys are 300 grams now! And they are still in them!

Our three adults get fed inside their enclosures on plastic plates. Their PO's always just tossed their mice into the substrate and let 'em have at it. Well, since we've gotten them they really don't like eating in a separate tub so I at least put the mice on the plastic plate and they'll gladly eat off of them. The hatchlings get fed in their deli cups for now and when they outgrow those we'll just move 'em up to the gladware containers.
 
I feed my little ones in those little critter keepers from pet stores and my big ones in rubbermaid plastic tub.
 
I know some people feed in separate tubs, which is great, because some snakes have a problem with swallowing there bedding if they are in aspen, cypress, etc... Mine though, don't have that problem. I have never had 1 problem with this type of thing. so, its pretty much your choice.
