I have always fed in the enclosure with aspen or sani-chips. I use tongs so they don't normally ingest any wood chips. If they did I shouldn't be a problem considering they digest whole rodent bones and all, debris would be much easier than that. I don't like moving my snakes while eating, I feel it stresses them out far more than anything. Neither way is right or wrong, just personal preference.
