Your way is no more right, just because you state it a few times. If he gets good results by feeding his monitors in a seperate container, or by feeding his giants in a seperate container, that it works for him(and for all the other respected keepers who do so). He's not telling you that YOU have to feed in another container, so why do you feel you can say he CAN'T?

I've done both, and I can see the merit in both.
I feed some animals in the enclosure, and others out. I take my tegus out because the male is really old and the female would just rob the food out of his mouth.
I feed my yellow anaconda out because I like the interaction, and she knows when there's no more food coming.
I feed my ornate monitor in because I'm still in the taming process and he DOES NOT like being picked up yet.

Either method can work, it's up to the individual keeper and being able to read one's animals.
