I fed in a tub for a long time with my 1 BP and had no problems. I now feed in her enclosure because it's easier on her. It's all a learning process and what works for both of you. I also use coco husk as a substrate because I like the more natural earth look and because it holds humidity better. Everyone does things differently. It jus depends on how it works for each person and snake. I've been tagged by a BP and it felt like getting my finger pricked by a needle. It was over before I realized it lol. I got 1 drop of blood from it. The poor thing was very hungry, and I was the lucky person that was helping to feed it. I was very inexperienced. It was before I got my girl and I was trying to get experience to take good care of her. I learned not to hold the rodent by hand lol.
