Do ALL live-fed snakes behave like this ?

I feed live and have never had an issue when handling my BP, then again I don't look or smell like a rat. It has nothing to do with feeding live.

XD I thought so. I notice in several "biting" videos, the BP usually flickers its tongue and licks the persons hand before deciding it wants to bite down. It even happens in the video posted earlier. Meaning they probably didnt wash their hands properly. I wonder what other than rat-smell triggers feeding responses?

Here is one that happened to get caught on video...

Yea I saw this, and I don't think all live fed behave like this, she's never bitten before or even attempted, I opened her tank tonight to move her water dish and she instantly went into feeding mode so I figure she's hungry.

Feeding mode - She begins to move around quite fast as if searching for her prey, she always does this before she strikes her food so I instantly recognised it and I got the hell out of dodge and closed her tank, so I guess I'll move up her feeding schedule to Monday.
