your snake should never associate a hand with food unless your husbandry practices are bad, even if that. a strike would be 95% fear driven. they use thermal, sight and smell to define a food item a hand will be thermally imaged way to big for its meal even if it does smell like food. it does not look like food attached to a human either.

people say if you dont wash your hands after handling the food the snake may strike you. i do not wash my hands after handling the food immediate and have went to handling my BP and putting him back in his enclosure and never even had him flick his tong at me.
