old school and untrue
Separate cage means possibly getting bit more often, as mentioned, many snakes will eat more than one prey item.

Mine know it's feeding time when I open and close the lids quickly or slide open and closed the drawer quickly.
They have learned to assume that if I leave the lid open it's not feeding time, just time for love

I'm a firm believer in feeding ball pythons in their own housing, and most hobbyist these days will agree
