I feed most my snakes in their cages. not a one has bit me for any reason. I feed Live and FT in the cage. You need the snake to know you aren't food and you need to make sure the snake is awake and active before you drop in some food. I will sometimes handle them a minute before feeding or lift the top of their hide and gently pet them so they are flicking their tongues and looking around when the mouse is in there.

I have a texas luecistic ratnsake I only feed in a box. he is kind of wild, but my balls are all sweeties and investigate pretty well before they strike. As long as I don't do something stupid like try to grab them while they are feeding or not washing my hands after touching prey items, they will not bite me.
