I have finally gotten my first snake two weeks ago and have started doing daily handling, and while handling her she does a very lazy bite sometimes that I have the videos of here. She's too small to get a grip anywhere except between my thumb and pointer finger(AKA the one place that she actually struck at in a feeding response), but I'm not sure what she's doing and if I should stop it and how.
When given her mice and when she felt threatened, she always struck at things, so it isn't like this is how she acts with food too. Should I be discouraging this or let her figure it out? She's only caused pain when she food struck me and one time one of her fangs got a slight grip, but she just seems to wander my hand and do it before simply exploring.
