Personally, I feed my BP in a seperate tub. The way I do it is on feeding night, I will open his enclosure door, put his feeding tub in front of it and he will crawl out and into the tub on his own. I then take him and the tub into the bathroom where I feed him ( My wife does not want to see it.) Then once I am done filming him eat and he has completely swallowed the rat/rats and re-adjusted his jaw he will raise his head up to the top of the tub, so I put the lid back on it and take him back into the room where his enclosure is. I then open his enclosure door, place the tub in front of it, remove the lid, tilt it on a 45degree angle and he will crawl back out and into his enclosure on his own. So I do not need to handle him at all for the process, it has taken me a couple months to get him into this routine. I don't feed him in his enclosure because of substrate, swimming pool, water bowl, hides, fountain and other decorations.
I used to just reach in and get hime, put him in the feeding tub then once it was over I would pick him back up and place him in his enclosure, but I did not like doing this because I felt bad picking him up after he ate, so that is why I do it the way I do now.
Pics below are of the different steps just for a more visual/interesting post.
