Flame away....

If your animal is a messy eater, you won't have to clean the blood and guts from his enclosure as often. You also won't have to constantly readjust your pretty enclosure decorations. Thats the best I could think of...

I have yet to see a messy eater snake. Have good prey items, they are never messy. Even if they do get a little messy, I've always found my snakes to eat the guts hanging out if it happens.

There's always a gallon of blood when I feed my Burm, I have permanent blood stains on its enclosure now. But I do feed fresh killed...
Also, the minute I enter the house with the scent of a rabbit she goes into her feeding response, it seems to have nothing to do with where she is, or if there's a hook. If there's food scent within range, stand clear. Once she's done, she's calm again. Maybe that's just Burms, or maybe that's just mine, but I don't see anything "training" her a reality...

Burms have great feeding responses. Your's seems to have a bigger one than most though but meh whatever. Aslong as she eats great.
