Jaksar,
This is common behaviour, as snakes gets into a bit of a frenzy when there is food about, he was probably looking for more food(Not saying you should feed him more!) when he struck out.
This is why that it is a good idea to take him out from the viv as you have done, as they then don't strike at you as soon as you open the viv door thinking....FOOD TIME!!!
You've done everything correctly, and welcome to a world which I am sure will become more and more fascinating to you.
Once your snake has eaten, carefully put him back into his viv and leave him alone for a hour or so, so he is not disturbed by you looking in, as he will then associate you and food as one, and sometimes this leads to probs.
Cheers,
Neil
