We've had our BP for about 3 months now.
I have always fed him F/T in a cardboard box lined with newsprint and a hide.
I have never him strike at me, ever (we handle him for a few minutes almost every day except for a couple days after feeding).
I've also never had a problem with him feeding. The first couple weeks we had him, he wouldn't strike the mouse off the hemostats. We would have to leave it in the box with him and slowly/eventually he would eat it.
Now, as soon as he gets in the box he goes straight for the hide and sticks his head out licking the air.
As soon as the mouse comes near the hide...Bang, he strikes fast and hard...no waiting.
I have never had a problem moving him back either. We usually give him 15 to 30 minutes and makes sure it's well down, then carefully pick him up and put him by his warm hide in his regular tank...no regurg.
