Feeding live should not matter whether you feed separately or not. I know it would hurt a lot more to get bit by a 14' snake, but size does not matter. I still hate getting bit by a 2' ball python. But like many of you have said, it is all a matter of opinion and what works for you.

Also, I put this in BP section because I could not find a "All Snakes General" section, but I also did not make it to refer to larger snakes... it is for all snakes of all sizes. Even male kenya sand boas.
I don't leave poop in my snakes cages all week either its just something you can do while you are feeding the snake. Drop my snake in its feeding kritter keeper with the mouse already in it. Turn around spot clean, change water, temp gun the hot spot and ambient areas. Turn back around open up the keeper pull the snake out and put it in its cage.
