In my experience feeding in hand is the very best way to calm a squirmy, nervous and bitty baby corn. They learn the hand is a good thing that won't eat them. Once they calm down and become hand tame you no longer feed in hand.
If you are worried about being bit by a hatchling corn snake (that can't even break your skin) you shouldn't be keeping snakes.
My adult corn snakes are as tame as any corn could be...and they were ALL hand fed as babies.
