It's up to you. Personally I feed in a seperate container for two reasons: 1) So my snakes don't ingest any substrate that could lead to impaction and 2) so they don't become viv defensive.  |

| I feed all mine in their vivs/tubs. None are viv defensive at all. I don't put anything down for them to feed off either and have never had a problem with substrate ingestion. |

Its certainly down to personal choice. I feed all of mine in a seperate tub because i personally find it easier. It means whilst their eating the din dins i can have a quick clean around their tanks, its also easier to get pics then.
I would just do whatever is easiest for you. |

As said, it's personal choice.
I feed mine in different tubs only because I weigh them first in small tubs then feed them.
I also enjoy watching them feed and getting pics :) |

I feed in separate tubs. For 5 very good reasons,
No chance of ingesting substrate
Have a little clean of the viv, de fingerprint the glass etc.
Avoid the small chance of viv aggression.
Weighing the snake before each feed to monitor growth.
MOST IMPORTANTLY So I can sit and watch them eat, its just so amazing. |
