yeah it's fine, might take her a while to want to do it that way though as she'll be feeding in an unfamiliar enviroment. mine refuses to feed in another container, so I just whapp her out onto the carpet infront of her viv and she will eat the mouse there.

Perfectly ok, as long as it will feed in a strange environment. Royals can be so picky!!

Leave him in the tub for a while to settle and get out of feed mode. Once he's stopped hunting and settled he should be ok but wash your hands before moving him so there is no scent to trigger his feeding responses again.

my smaller corner snake gets taken out and put in a plastic bin to be fed - otherwise she tries to get both the mice and wraps herself around them and then cannot eat any cos shes guarding them from 2nd snake - so its easier then. she loves her food so much its never an issue

some of ours stay in thier rubs, others will feed in most locations, usualy on the bed (much to my dislike), but if you take it out to feed just keep an eye on it, as I have a tendancy to get bored as some of ours take a while, and then look back and there is just the back end of the snake disapearing out of site
