My girls are curious, rather out going for bps, and have a great feeding response, so I take a couple extra precautions to minimize accidental bites. Interaction is great for me, but the snakes could care less, and really probably do better without it.
It's because the snakes don't particularly enjoy handling that feeding day is one of my favorites. They're honed in on the prey so I get to interact without them paying me much mind. I only have a couple snakes that get "messed" with on any regular basis other than general maintenance and this usually involves me lugging hem outdoors for some exploration enrichment.
