It depends where you snake will feed. In is always going to be less hassle and with Royals been quite secretive in general then its a good way to keep them quiet and calm so they will eat, others would eat suspended from a washing line so I suppose its all down to the individual snake.

Just get a rub with a secure lid,feed him then leave him bein the rub/tub etc.until he's eaten then place back in viv.

Mine feed in. Well i try, open the doors and they come shooting out and take it.
They all have areas where they are aspen freeband i feed them there.
Ever tried picking up a p***ed and hungry boa after feeding? Less hassle to feed in vivs. But lie lotabob says depends on the snake

All my snakes like to feed in-viv. I obey my snakes.

Although I no longer lift Shahi on to his climbing branch as he prefers, after the heat pits in his face mistook my scentless but warm and pulsing hands for a rodent, as in this video I found on youtube - illustrates the pythonic heat pits' function perfectly ...

I'd feed in-viv. And use tongs ...
