I second the request for some interesting feeding videos. Not all of us have groups of snakes so we don't have the same feeding excitement going on.

Both of my garters, but one more than the other tend to like to attack the "prey" from above when I'm using tweezers to feed. The problem is, I grab the food item from the top, so that it will dangle down to grab their attention. The end result is the mouth-on-metal situation you described.

My snake always tends move up past the dangling food too. I always thought she just wanted to attack my hand. Maybe, she's also more comfortable attacking from above, I'll have to adjust my feeding angle.
