I'm really wondering what was different. You didn't have any snake scent on your hands did you? Perhaps it was catching scent of snake on the "exercise court".

The only time I've had feeding strikes aimed at me was when the snake was REALLY hungry... one time by a sub-adult. I feed them by tossing food in their cages, always at night, turning off all the lights and leaving the room. I want to not be recognised as a food supply.

Perhaps a bigger cage so personal contact for regular exercise isn't needed.

I might start using the kevlar gloves for moving them.

Thanks.
