I'm not worried about being bit while feeding I am definitely not holding a mouse with my bare hands, she did strike the mouse pretty hard when I fed. Also I fed her live so i just dumped the mouse in and let her do her thing. I was much more worried of her biting me while not feeding. I personally like the idea of feeding in enclosure Im sure its much easier for her and I'd like doing what is best for her . I have never owned a snake so I am fairly nervous of reaching in and grabbing her for the first time but once i have done it once I will definitely be much more relaxed. I am going to try feeding F/T though I don't want the mouse hurting her and have heard live mice can spread parasites although I'm not sure how a dead mouse would differ in that aspect other than the fact the mouse was frozen.
