I have to assist feed my Eastern. The only thing I haven't tried is a live toad. But anyway...

I've gotten caught on her little front teeth a million times and it just feels like velcro, but last week when I was feeding her, a different tooth swiped across my finger and it _hurt_ and it was deep like a paper cut and it wouldn't stop bleeding for about an hour! (I was telling everyone at work the next day "I cut myself on my snake!" (A week later it's almost completely healed and it never got infected or anything.)

I'd be very, very surprised to hear of an Eastern that tried to bite someone on purpose.

I know people that feed kings and corns by hand, too, though usually pretty young, small snakes.
