Feeding live will result in the occasional bite no matter how careful you are. All of our bites have been defensive and unpreventable, with the exception of not feeding live. It's not like you can force the snake to perfectly execute the kill every single time. 99% are harmless with the teeth doing no damage, but we have had two bites in/on the mouth that are dangerous and kind of scary.
Most of our BPs are on pre-killed now. We do have a few off/on eaters with crappy feeding responses that will probably always get live. They'll continue to get bit occasionally, get scared, and stop eating for a while. Worst predators ever.
