I feel it's always a good idea to handle your snakes regularly. A snake that sees a hand only at feeding time will become "conditioned" to associate the hand with food and will inevitably wind up striking at some point in a feeding response. That could happen with even the most docile snake.
All but the most nervous babies will settle down after a few minutes of being held. Try to handle them once a week other then feeding time and you really should be fine.
