It's easier for the owner and the snake to feed in it's own enclosure, but of course to each their own. Ingestion of substrate isn't a concern unless you are using large sharp jagged substrates or certain types of sand or if the snake is otherwise ill. It's also best to avoid offering prey that's soaking wet to minimize ingestion.

Thanks for correcting me. I'd have gotten back to this sooner, but I had a few small explosions happen shortly after making this post. No, not literal explosions. Just things that put other things on hold, you know, life stuff.
