Your tank will work, although most would say try to get a little more floor space for him when he is fully grown. Feeding in a different enclosure is strictly your preference, as long as he will not swallow any substrate if you feed him in the tank. Dead is always better. A dead rat can't bite. It may be a challenge to get him to take dead, though.

Thats a 20 long, correct? You'll need to upgrade to a 30 or so.
Separate feeding containers have nothing to do with the snake's safety or health. People believe that it'll prevent themselves from accidently being bitten.
Feed dead, safer.

i personally think feed boxes are a good idea they really do associate eating with it when i drop sage in the feed box he/she will slither around waiting for the food to be dropped in. I use a cardboard box with the flaps taped up to add more height and if they strike wrong or whatever and hit the side cardboard isn't as bad as hard glass.

Hehe - have done it myself a few times. For those tha tuse a feedbox, esp the cardboard variety - how long do leave your snake in there after feeding? Do you allow for digestion or handle for the transfer back right away?

I put my gopher back in his tank when I see that the lump is well down along his body. I gently scoop him up and lay him back in his cage near his favorite hide. He crawls right into his hide and curls up to digest....never had a problem with regurging. Just be gentle and don't handle them any more than necessary to make the shift. If the snake looks nervous or anxious about being picked up at that time, if it tries to run away from you, then I would wait.

I wait until they're done swallowing and start to cruise. Then I know it's time to get 'em out, supporting the lump, and put 'em back home.
