Get some latex exam gloves. Then, the more you handle, the less he will (eventually) musk.
Also, if budget is a problem, one feeding chamber I have used in past is a gallon water jug or milk jug, thoroughly cleaned out. Once you get the tail and body in the mouth of the jug, the baby snake just drops by gravity... and since the jug has shoulders, the snake can't climb out. After the snake eats, you can hold the jug upended gently on a slope, above the viv and the snake will slide out into the substrate.
