Im not an expert.. but.. animals sometimes asociate things.. like.. wen a farmer would make a sertain noise.. it means food time for the cows or what ever.. it works with a lot of animals.. they asociate things to food.. if you teach them. So my point is.. maeby your snake asociates food with YOU.. "i see human.. it means food time". If you hand feed it.. the efect is wors.. "i se a thing move in the air (hand or food).. its food!" So wen you whant to pick it up.. youre accidently giving him/her the sing of food.
So you could feed it with tongs and try not to make it so obvius that you are the feder.. (noise or your body) so it dosent asociate you with food anymore.. or you could try making a sertain noise (unique) each time you feed.. and i guess it could learn (it works with dogs and many other animals) that only when he hears that noise.. theres food coming.. also do it while it feeds for some time.
Please Someone correct me if im rong.. its just what i think is posibly the problem..

Snakes don't hear, so making a noise doesn't work. But this is what the hooks and paper towel in his pics were for. You use them to break the food response, and you never use those items for the snake when feeding.
