with you about removing boids from their primary enclosure and feeding in another. Additionally, moving a large python after a meal is a sure way to cause problems internally, and possibly cause a regurgitation, or stress internal organs. Pythons are easily "trained" or acclimated into a non-feeding mode by tapping them on the head lightly with a cardboard tube. They soon realize they are not going to be fed when this occurs. Why move a snake twice for feeding when it is not necessary to move it at all. I have been feeding 15 foot pythons and anacondas in their enclosures for 25 years and never had any problems. I think removing young pythons from their cages for feeding is asking for problems down the road.
