I agree with both prevoius replies. Might be hunger due to feeding too far apart OR not feeding him the right sized meal (may be too small of a meal). Using a glove is a good idea until the snakes agression calms down, it is what i used for my snappy babies and for getting stuck shed off. Also might be due to a scent on your hands. Is f/t sometimes the bag the mice/rats are in have an odor on it from the facility it left which gets on you. Or possible if live the box from the petstore or the rodent itself odor gets on you. So your hqnd smells and looks like food. It could also be an aggervating odor on you such as colone, hqnd sanitizer not fully dry, food, etc. Try wasing your hands in cold water with a non-scented soap and see if that helps.
