    I don't have/won't get a BP (I have a Checkered Garter but it eats invertabrates so my choice wasn't for that snake) but the Hoggy I'm going to get in November will hopefully feed on pre-killed mice inside her (I'm getting a female) enclosure.

    I feed live outside the enclosure. At first I heard that it would make them less likely to strike when I opened the drawer, but now I don't believe that it makes any difference. I just do it now out of habit and to give me a chance to clean everybody's cages. They don't seem to mind and I've never had any problems with it.

    Live in his enclosure. I'd considered having a separate box for feeding, but he eats without issue in his enclosure, and I don't like the idea of handling them immediately after eating.

    F/T in his enclosure. Depending on how hungry he is he'll grab it as soon as I start lowering it into the cage. I reach into his enclosure fairly often, at least once a day, if not to pick him up then to clean the water, move something that he has rearranged, etc. and so far he has never struck out at me or seemed to mistake me for food.
