When I had my Boas I always fed in tank, I only had one that would have a food response when I'd put my hand in but only on feeding day. Lol
Sounds like you've got it under control. Most of the stories about swallowing substrate are just that - stories. Thousands of BPs are fed in their enclosure every single day without issue. The putting your hand in on feeding day and trying to avoid getting nailed is a good argument for feeding in their own enclosure too.
