waiting is good. I would wait at least 1 week before trying to feed.

I have fed my BP both ways. I started out-of-cage, tried in-cage, and decided to go back to out-of-cage. Personally, I found that feeding in-cage had a significant effect of his behavior.

My snake is a strong feeder and so he feeds out-of-cage well. I can feed him quickly, under light and under supervision, and put him back immediately with no problems. My theory is that, for the same reason, feeding him in his cage brought out alot of aggression. This was not "hateful" aggression but simply eagerness to eat. some snakes won't eat while being watched or will regurg if disturbed during or after eating.

Ultimately, you'll have to determine for yourself. Feeding in-cage is easiest. I would recommend doing that but if your snake is always coming out for food and going it strike position when you open the cage then I would recommend trying out of cage feeding. I would bet your pet store fed out of cage and you could start with that relatively easily. do that until you get a routine and then try in-cage and see how that affects things.
