SO, I'm still very new at this, having gotten my first BP just a few months ago. That being said I did a lot of research and disscussed our options with people that have kept and bred snakes for years. Probobly 90% of them said in- tank feeding was better for a BP as they are rarly get aggressive unless they smell mouse/rat anyway, and moving them can be a bit probematic. The few that recomemded a seperate feeding tubs were breeders that rarely handeled the individual snakes. We handle smpson almost dayly, and feed live (honestly I don't even use tongs, I just pull off his hide about an hour before feeding time, then drop he live mouse in from safe distance. This has the added benifit of a stunnned mousey. Sampson usully stikes it before it fully recovers and so far have had no issues.
