Yes, I was laughing too.
But no joke, you don't want a "feeding bite" from a snake, as they tend to hang on & wrap on you- some snakes can be very determined once they "catch something", lol.
BTW I currently have 7' rat snakes that are quite fast at grabbing food too. Keeps my reflexes in good shape.
But with them, I can "tell them NO" with a little spritz of clean water mist to their face so they know it's me & not "incoming prey", whereas that might be too much for a baby BP- BPs are much shyer snakes & you don't want to scare them. Honestly, nothing could scare my rat snakes, & they'll happily drink from a water spray.
They're fun snakes, with great appetites.
Zincubus brought up a good point too, when feeding f/t rodents, it's best to offer with cardboard for a "plate" underneath if you can, to minimize the chance of your
swallowing substrate.
