Question Feeding large constrictors

Hey everyone,
I was wondering how everyone feeds their large (8 ft +) constrictors?
I have heard of feeding them in the bath tub, that seems kinda cold to me. Do they put a blanket in the bottom for the snakes? I would. Cuz I wouldn't want em to get cold while eating.

I have also heard of feeding them just on the floor, but that seems kinda dangerous if they smelled it in the room and then tried to eat you.

Then there are those who say "just feed them inside the cage". I feel this would be asking for trouble with a 10ft+ retic that would expect food everytime the door is opened.

I do feed my burm inside her cage, however she is either stunted or a runt (she has been fed properly over the years just never grew. Maybe it was from the trauma/stress from a stupid vet when she was a hatchling? ). She will not get to a size where she could be considered lethal so I feed her inside her cage. She is 3 years old and 5.5 feet. I love her to death and have no intentions of getting rid of her because she will never be "breedable".

So anyway, please let me know your opinions and ideas.
