I feed some animals in the enclosure and some out of the enclosure (just depends on setup). I feed babies their first 3-5 meals in the enclosure (seem to start better that way). If you only have a couple animals and they eat out of the cage then go for it. When you have a large number of animals feeding in the cage can be easier IMO. I have never had a snake die from ingesting bedding.
