I feed all mine in their tub.

I feed mine in his tank

There isn't a really good argument for feeding in a separate tub. Its just unnecessary.

I have question. What would if the BP were to eat some of the Aspen along with the mouse?

A small amount will be broken up by stomach acids. If you are very concerned, put down a piece of newspaper in the tank before feeding.

I Feed all mine in their enclosure so they can ambush their prey from the security of their hides.

I just plop the mouse in his tank and he takes it from there, waits for the mouse to pass his hide, ambushes the hell out of it, then drags it into his hide where he eats it.

man i wish that edit button would sick around longer....I know you feed a snake a mouse the size of its girth, but how do you know if your feeding it a mouse thats too small? My BP is about 20 inches long, 6 months old, and so far he has eaten two fuzzies for me. Should I keep going with those or step up to a small mouse?

I have a separate enclosure to feed Gabriel. It's just a large, low walled cardboard box. I'm not sure whether it's the smell of past prey items, or if he really has learned that placement in the box means feeding time, but he coils up and is ready to spring as soon as he is put in there.

I'm a new owner, and Gabriel is my first reptile, so I'm still learning as I go. Originally I was worried that if I fed him in his tank he would expect food whenever I stuck my hand in there and, as a result, become more aggressive to me. Was this fear unfounded?
