Regarding moving an adult burm that can weigh a couple hundred pounds, I agree that it may not be convenient or feasable to move him when its feeding time. At that point, I would not even have a suitable "feeding tub" large enough to do this in.

I personally happen to feed outside of the enclosure mainly to prevent substrate ingestion. The flooring of my enclosures arent limited to just newspaper, but rather newspaper with a light layer of substrate. But the reason I asked was to see what the arguement was for feeding inside the enclosure. The general consensus tends to be that feeding inside the cage will cause a snake to associate opening of the cage, or sticking your hand/arm in the cage with feeding time and could trigger a Pavlovian response. Its interesting to get different opinions though.
