Your hand should have nothing to do with the feeding process. You either drop the mouse in or offer it on tongs. A mouse smells and looks much different than a human hand so there should be no confusion. A bite is more likely to happen when moving the snake to a separate container. The snake might already smell the rodent and strike at anything that moves. My moving the snake, you use your hands and then you feed them. I would think this would cause more of an association or an accidental bite.

It just perfectly fine to feed in the home enclosure. Your snake will not become cage aggressive if you feed him or her properly sized meals on a regular basis.
