Any tips (feeding bps)

I use tubs in a rack & when I feed I hold the rat by the tail & hold it by the edge of the tub so my hand is outside the tub & below the height they could strike. I havent hand fed any BP's over 1000g yet & dont really flinch when they strike. but I also have 2 RTB's that are 4+ ft & they strike way faster & harder & it takes every bit of control I hae to hold still when they strike. I feel some tongs are in my near future because Im starting to not like the range they have.

I'm not scared, but it's like a reaction. Something that strikes at me, animal or person, I will react to dodge lol.

Hahaha. This thread makes me feel better. I thought I was the only snake owner who ever did that. I used to flinch almost every time. I never flinch anymore but that's only because I've gotten used to it. It fascinate me to see how quick he can move when he needs to. :) the only tip I can give to not flinch is just mentally prepare yourself with the knowledge that when he's winding up he's going to hit and wrap it because that's just what they do. :)
