I do the same thing, Zeina. When I first got my corn, I used a feeding box and fed with tongs. Afterward, I reached in and pulled him out. After 3-4 feedings, he lunged at me when I went in to pull him out. I jerked back really quickly. He didn't even bite me, just lunged. After that, I gently dump him from the feeding box directly into the cage. I don't want to risk a bite or stress to the snake because I'm a flincher.

I plan to buy a hook for when she grows bigger, to get her out of her feeding box. Once I have a hand on her she calms down.

When you are bitten, if possible, try not to pull whatever was bitten from the snakes mouth, but instead to convince it to let go.
I read that too, but there didn't seem to be anything left behind in the bite. She let go the moment I flinched. Because before convincing her to let go, I have to convince myself not to flinch. Tough job for someone like me!!!
