I was just wondering what sort of thing would be suitable to sue as a 'feeding area'. What I mean is I'd like a bowl or something in her tank to put her food in when she eats...but I'm unsure of what to go for there wasn't much selection in my local pet shop. I would search the internet but I think it's better to get advice from the experts first :)

mine get fed on the lids from their fauns, and my king gets fed in a 18l rub,
you could just use a dinner tray or something

you might want it so that its big enough for the snake to get at least half into..i know my king would roll his mouse round in the aspen - given the chance he would probably try and burrow with it..daft thing

I put a towel on top of a tray out in the open so I can get a good view of mine feeding. Afterwards I can gently carry them back to their vivs on the towel.

Are you wanting to keep her feeding in the viv Korn or are you wanting to start feeding outside the viv?

Before I learnt enough I used to feed Kellog in his viv, with nothing covering the substrate....but I now feed both outside their vivs, on towels on the floor, then lift them gently back into their vivs. Did originally feed Silvesta in a RUB but he was so feisty trying to get him out afterwards. I know I could have just tipped him back in, but I wanted him to get used to feeding in the open anyway, so this gave me the reason to try it and it works well.

I know some people put a tile down on the substrate or a sheet of paper to cover it....but there is always that risk that the snake will drag the prey off the covering and even into its hide, therefore onto the substrate.
