I never touch mice.

Thanks. I have been hand feeding since I have first bought my king, never had a problem. I do have tongs that I do use occasionally, but I never had one problem feeding.

honestly just because your not having a problem right now doesn't mean you wont later.. i would deff suggest start using the tongs. it is the much safer option. and the proper way to feed

To be honest, I understand what you are saying. For a bigger snake, yes I would definitely use tongs. If I do get bit, it's not gunna be that bad. A corn snake wont do much, especially compared to a larger snake. I volunteered at this pet shop up in south bend, I had to feed the most vicious king they had. I picked it up, held it, and hand fed it. Not a problem. I understand its risky, but I know it's my fault if I get bit. I know people will disagree with me, I get it. You also have to think, all snakes are different. Also, this wasn't me hand feeding, it was my brother.
