Its funny you say that grim, I hold the mouse by the tail and dangle it in front of her, but forceps are safer, young ball pythons are not know for their good aim and its possible they could get you instead. I believe I read a post by someone saying their ball python actually wrapped around his hand when it missed the mouse, and it was painful, that was when they were using forceps. So, just be aware when feeding your snake and watch its body language, and dont worry a baby ball python bite wont hurt.
