I have never had a snake to get a mouthful of it as it is rather packed down even when wet.
I always feed in container or tank that they live in and never had an issue. I have one defensive striker that has always done so whether feeding or just opening her tub. Other than that if you give your snake a cue like tapping it on its side or tail before picking it up it will usually go off strike mode and be ok. That is how i do it anyway
