doesn't mean your snake is "full" now, and they wouldn't nail more food if offered. Plenty of my snakes would eat again if I let them, anytime. I don't think the feeding response was ruled out at all.
I agree with djinn about washing your hands, and I would be very surprized if you washed your hands before you handled your snake. It is relatively easy for smells to get on your hands. What if someone you live, or who visited you, or who you hang out with, touched a pet guinea pig, ferret, bird etc. and touched your door knob or other thing around your home? The best thing to do is wash your hands before handling each snake.
A defensive biter is more likely to nail you when you go to take it out, not later after it already out and you ae handling it. My guess is some smell was on your hands.
