I've been feeding my 6ft red tail boa in her enclosure for 2 years the only time she has tagged me was when she was little and I startled her, and that was just more of a headbutt, not an actual bite. Needing to switch them to a different tub for feeding is a myth. Neither my ball python or my boa get excited when I open the doors except when I boa wants to come out to play, then she will fly out and up my arm to come out. The only time they go into feeding mode is when I have a rat in the room and they smell it, then all bets are off as my ball python will stand up like a little cobra looking for the rat and my boa will coil up in the front of the door waiting for the rat.
