Most people doing it are doing so because they are told it will create a feeding response, but don't seem to understand that going to put the snake back in the enclosure, you will have the same issue, so it's better to just learn how to break feeding response and feed in the enclosure.
If you are doing so because of issues with substrate, that may be necessary. A tiny bit of dirt isn't going to hurt, but sticks, rocks, large pieces of moss could. I've had success with some animals feeding them over a plate and removing the plate after they are done. If you BP has a really strong feeding response and likes to pull the prey all over the place as they eat, a plate prob won't work though.
