I feed my BP live in his home. He has never taken a strike at me or even postured like he might. Don't smell like food and don't have an association between your hand and food. I always wash my hands before and after handling. My guy gets interested in my activity by his cage around feeding day. He usually is interested before I open the box. I've reached in to pick him up every week for the 2 months I've had him and he just lets me pick him up, never tried to strike me. After feeding I leave him alone for 2 days. I always feed late afternoon/evening due to work which is better for the snake. I don't bother him until the second evening other than a quick look for temp,humidity readings.
