The place I bought my BP from, used a separate feeding enclosure...So I followed suit, and have been using a separate enclosure since day 1 with my BP. 3 years later, she still gets fed in there and I can tell her attitude changes when I bring it out...She is very docile, and I can pick her up and put her in there with no fuss (unless she's in a mood)...When I open the top, she's poised and expecting her supper.
