as long as it eats i wouldn't worry ...my guyana boa will usualy only eat if i put a towel over the front of his enclosure when theres a f/t rat/rabbit in there so he can't see anyone or anything outside his cage ...or he won't eat

If they bite and let go immediately it could be a defense bite, not a feeding strike. I would try just leaving them in the enclosures (for the ones that seem to feed in that manner) and skip the tong feeding and see what happens ;)
