Feed him in his tub/enclosure. He will be fine. We feed in tubs, and my daughter has been handling the snakes since she was 6, when we first got into them. What's going to make more of a difference than where you feed him, is your snakes actual personality. Out of 7 balls, and 1 boa, there is just 2 bps that I won't let her handle on her own. The rest are trustworthy, and she knows her way around snakes.
