lol, I ask 2 many Questions

My Inland Python has begun to take a long time over every meal. I've fed her outside her tank from day 1. She will grab the mouse or rat but than she holds it for an hour before trying to eat it.
She doesn't play with it.
As somebody said, when I asked this question - -"It's just inconvenient".

That's correct but is it a bad habit for her to get?
How would you change her eating behaviour?

I've asked a handful of people their ideas and want to know yours. I apologise for asking a simple question, & I am aware the snake isn't ill or in danger.
I have an aversion to feeding live , any other solutions?

I've heard alott that snakes are creatures of habit, that snakes don't like changes to the tank. Is that correct?

Any answers are greatly appreciated.
Em
