From what I've read over the years, the idea about feeding in a separate container is that supposedly if you feed in the living space, the snake can become more aggressive to handling.

I don't think this is a huge problem for a fairly shy snake anyway. I could see if I was holding a mouse and putting it in our full-grown corn's cage, it could/would strike and maybe miss the mouse and get my hand. Nothing to worry about with a nonvenomous snake anyway. With my kingsnake, though, the mouse is in a cup and he doesn't come out to eat it for quite a while until things calm/quiet down.
