I think it just depends on the snake. My girl is much more difficult to feed in a separate container she often won't take. She takes every time in her home though. I handle her often and she never strikes when I reach in. Also I now use eco earth and I'm really not worried about her swallowing a little of that. Just feed her/him on a basking rock or something.
