Live feeding: in-tank or separate tub?

[Hugsplox]

listen I don’t want anyone to get the idea that I feed live just for my own entertainment...I adopted my snake from someone else who had her eating live her whole life and I have never had a problem until now and I certainly do a lot of research on how to properly take care of my girl, and MOST of the rats she refused have been taken in as pets and are living a cushy life. I’m peeved that you would think I wouldn’t put my snakes needs first when I’ve been spending time talking to people about how I can best get her eating again and am willing to try different options. Feeding live has always worked for me, and getting to see her hunt was an extra bonus because that’s not something I would get to observe in nature. I don’t care to watch a YouTube video about it because I only care to watch MY snake hunt. Thanks for everyone’s help.

I don't think anyone thinks you're a bad person or anything for what you said, I'm sure it was just misunderstood. People on this forum have one big thing in common and that's our love of animals, so sometimes passions run a little high, and I hope you won't take anything anyone said as a shot against you. We're just trying to give you the best advice we can while also correcting issues that you had prior to joining us here. Sometimes we just don't do a good job communicating our advice as friendly as we should.

You've gotten a ton of fantastic advice here and now it's up to you to put it into practice and find what's best for your animal. Like I said before, I feed live, and I will continue to do so because that's what works best for my BP. Live feeding isn't for every owner/snake, for example my hognoses won't eat live and prefer F/T but live is what the BP prefers, so live is what he'll continue to get. This isn't to say that I won't make the switch eventually, because personally I enjoy nothing about the live feeding process other than the fact that my snake has eaten, but for now I have a good system in place, and have no reason to change anything.
