Can I use this paper bedding for my BP?

I see a lot of people saying to use a feed box to feed them. But yet I've been told many times that it's not necessary. Opinions? Sorry I know it's a bit off topic.

It's actually better to NOT move them. Less stressful for the snake since changing enclosures can freak them out, and then you are also not having to handle them right after they eat and risk regurgitation. The argument of being more likely to get bitten by not moving them and their always thinking that they are getting food is invalid, because you are more likely to get tagged moving a hungry snake.

I was using paper towel while she was recovering from an injury, I figured this would be more comfy for her. ?

A paper towel is great for injuries because it keeps the wound cleaner. Good job! :-)

That's what I figured, being that they get comfortable with their enclosure, jumping them from home to home may aggravate them. At least that's what I assumed. It all makes sense though, why reach in a tank to a hungry snake to move it into an unfamiliar enclosure. Thanks for the input!
