Moving a snake into another enclosure for feeding time is not necessary. I just recently got a hatchling male pastel. He strikes at me all the time and I feed in his enclosure because if I didn't I would surely get bitten. You are not being fair to the snake at all. Give the little one a break, would you please. It will calm down with time. I am not just going to get rid of my pastel because he strikes at me. My male normal was an evil little monster when I first got him and now he is 1354 grams and tame as a puppy. I can put this beast around my neck now. I trust my snakes a hell of a lot more then I trust my cat. My cat gets into moods where all he wants to do is bite and scratch. In all honesty, I would rather take a bite from one of my snakes.
