Whichever works for your snake.

It depends on the snake. With my first corn snake, I just place the mouse in his cage and he goes to it after a few seconds. With my ghost corn, I tried to place the mouse inside but she always grabs it as I'm lowering it in... Just try and see what your snake responds to best- either way will work!

good luck!

In what?? the Viv or a separate feeding container.

It's might be better to place the pinky in the feeding container first, then the snake.

If you dangle feed, you're going to get a strike feeding response. Depends on whether you want that or not. With gray bands, I went for that but only because they were tricky feeders. With most colubrids, you can just throw it in and go.
