Can't you just put down the mouse and have the snake eat it?

I have to take her out of the vivarium and put her into a separate box. For 2 reasons

1. So she doesn't associate you opening the door of the viv with her getting fed. Means there's a lot lower chance of her going for you (like, thinking you're going to feed her when you're actually taking her out)
2. How am I meant to clean it out if she's sitting in the middle eating, flinching everytime I move. Think of how vulnerable snakes are when eating. They have 1 defence. Their teeth. It takes them....15 minutes to eat? That's 15 minutes without their 1 defence
