New ball pythons, first time owner, one angry snake

Ive used both ways in the past. I also didnt feel like my snake was stressed because he always ate.
But i dont do it like that anymore. I dont have alot of snakes but its just easier to feed in their enclousure.

Nothing wrong with either way as long as the snake eats. I just have some that it seems nothing phases them, over to ones that won't eat while I'm in the room.

Now back to the original issue, hatchlings seem to start striking at anything that moves once they get a little stressed. Fingers, hands, feeding tongs or a small hook, the arm holding them, the water dish as I put it back in, and so on. Not all do this of course, but it's definitely not out of the ordinary.

Video was very informative. Thanks for the link. I'll use that method if things don't improve after the settling in period.
