I just got my first "real" bite and even that was pretty minor (baby corns don't count!)
I had cleaned my Normal BP's cage and noticed that she hadn't eaten one of the F/T, So I tossed the mouse in the garbage bag and finished cleaning. Then I went to my adult corn snakes cage, set the bag right outside his cage and like an idiot I reached in even though I knew he could smell the mouse and he was looking mighty interested in my hand. He tagged me and then quickly let go. I've owned reptiles for 10 years (snakes for 6), and this is my first bite, so I think feeding in cage is fine as long as you use your brain (obviously mine wasn't on). I have a friend that will only feed out of cage so I think it really depends on what your comfortable with and whether or not your snake will eat out of cage.
