I would much rather feed in the same enclosure that my snake stays in, and IMO it's the right way to do it. But, a few weeks ago I changed to aspen bedding and the first time I fed my snake on it she got a big piece of it stuck in her mouth. I had to take it out of her mouth and in the process I got bitten by her.

I started feeding outside of her enclosure from then on and I really don't like it. She's always snappy after she eats and I just feel like I'm stressing her out moving her so much around feeding time. I'm considering just going back to newspaper- it's a lot easier and quicker than feeding in a separate enclosure.
