My bp is already in strike mode when i go to feed him, and I just make sure I keep my hands out of the enclosure. I use a decent length set of hemostats to clip the F?T behind the head, do a little jig and BAM, curl, goodnight. This is also good because I dont have to worry about substrate getting eaten, my bp hunts from his tree lol. I took a video of him tonight I want to post.
