If you're feeding outside of their cage because you have two bp's together, then you need to get them separate containers to solve that issue. People say to feed in a separate cage to avoid cage aggression, but that's just not true. Just about everyone here feeds in the snake's enclosure and there's no increase in cage aggression. Best case scenario, it does no harm or good to move the snake back and forth. Worst case you stress the snake out moving it and it refuses food (actual worst case would be regurgitation, but refusal is more common).

    What eating habits are you checking out? What's this "just in case" that's causing you to feed live in another enclosure?
    If I feed live, I have easier access to the feeder in case I get too scared of the rat biting my snakes, I guess. Also, I think I started feeding them in separate enclosure due to for a while i caged two together(but i just recently separated them)
    Also, I don't want my snakes to swallow the substrate and possibly get mouth rot( I also think this is a reason for at least Ryuu, since I've seen her miss and or strike her food(feeding live, since I don't have tongs yet I just put each other in the enclosure) and get a good bit of substrate, partly why i use paper towels but I am soon getting something different to put down)

    I guess I should start feeding in their enclosures?

    Edit: I just finished reading what everyone said, I think i'll start feeding most, if not all in the same enclosure.
    Also, would anyone suggest like a grassy-carpet(I forget what it's called) type substrate? I've seen people use it in racks at least, but I haven't seen anyone recommend it for BPs.
