I feed Ash inside his enclosure. He has never bitten or even gone to bite. Most of the time he needs to be woken gently to eat, lol. If he moves into strike position we simply withdraw from the enclosure and shut the door. My girlfiend likes to let him strike the food out of her hand, (holding by the tail just above his head to be safe) and she hasn't been bitten or even close yet, he's only interested in the rat. Ash gets handled quite a lot and is pretty safe unless he's woken rudely in which case we let him have a move about before attempting to handle him. The only other thing is we never handle after he has eaten as he does tend to get a little snappy then.
