Do you think I'm eventually going to get bit?

On feeding day, I pre-scent my room so the snakes are ready to feed. My BPs are taken out of the enclosure and into separate containers to be fed. And also I have to dig out my boa from the substrate and put her on top of it to tell her it's feeding time. When I thaw my mice out, I check on them to make sure they are thawed or need more time to thaw so I will handle each mouse/rat and then when it's ready I just go in and get my snakes out and get them ready for feeding time. Do you think if I don't wash my hands I'm most likely going to get bit?

.......Yup

I would say yes, actually if thats how you have been feeding them in the past I'm surprised it hasn't happend yet lol.

[CoolioTiffany]

.......Yup

Ya that's what I thought lol.. well when I go in to get Monty all he does it hide and curl up into a ball so not too worried about him. When I pick up Candice she's ready to be handled but she knows she's eating when I quickly pick her up to put her in her container. My Dumeril's boa doesn't like being touched in the enclosure, so I think she may tag me sometime and that the fact I have the smell of her rat on my hands.

If you feed IN the cage instead of OUTSIDE, you'd greatly reduce your risk

Most of the snakes eat in the enclosure, just not the BPs. Especially don't want my sweet little girl to get a feeding response in the cage

That's NOT gonna happen.

I feed ALL my BIG Bloods in they're cages. And they KNOW when feeding day is. NO problems in between those days.

Well, my King snake ALWAYS thinks I'm feeding him right when I even come up to the cage. Since he's in shed right now, he doesn't do anything. Though, I need to take him out daily for just a second so I can inject his antibiotics into him to get rid of the RI. He almost tagged me a few weeks ago when I was trying to pick him up. I held onto the middle part of his bosy to pick him up and he rushes over open mouthed and ready to bite. I'm just too quick for him xD

You probably will not have an issue feeding in the enclosure. I don't move any of mine out to feed them and have never had an issue. If you are thinking they have that "gonna strike" look to them you can use something like a paper towel roll. Put it in front of them and they will back off. You should be able to pick up as you normally would after that.
That's just my experience with them though.
I honestly believe that you have more chance getting tagged feeding in a second enclosure.
