All of our snakes currently get fed in their tub. When we had a couple burms we fed in the bathtub because they were on loose substrate and we didn't feel like trying to fight a hungry 8 foot burm with bark in it's mouth. Also was way easier to clean the bathtub of rat blood afterwards. That said, there are risks to moving a large hungry snake, and a long snake hook and a helper are certainly important the bigger they get. Nothing like feeding a large burm in the bathtub only to have it come flying out at chest level, then swearing at myself for forgetting the snake hook at boyfriend's house... had my roommate run a bird perch/dowel to me to gently redirect the burm's head. Certainly a learning experience and a reminder not to be a complacent fool.
Never an issue with the balls in the tub and on newspaper though
