The whole thing about taking animals out of their cage to feed them started with snakes as they are not the brightest animals out there and tend to respond to cage opening with a feeding response to whatever moves when you them in their cage. This does happen with some monitors as well. That said, This is great if you have a few snakes but it can upset them as well causing them not to eat at all and if you have lots of snakes this practice can greatly increase feeding time. As far as monitors go I would be worried about them getting upset and puking their food back up with all that movement. my advice would be to just feed them in their cage and learn to use tongs and gloves when they get bigger to help avoid unintended bites.
