Toss him in the Microwave, throw some A1 steak sauce on him....
Nah I'm kidding. Set up a small cage, aquarium, etc and keep a few feeders on hand. Or at least one? Thats what i'd do anyways. raising feeders is fun, as long as you dont keep em in your room to keep u up all night :D

Before I started breeding my ASF's, I would by a months worth of live feeders, keep them in a 20L, give them some 6F & water.

Same thing just happened to me. I kept the ASF in the feeding tub, gave it some water and dog food and returned it to the store the next day.
Although I work at the store so that's a different story.. But I'd just keep feeding it and giving it water until the next feeding day.

A covered bucket in the garage with some water and food until the snake is hungry

Re: curious...
When this happens to me I have no where to put any live asf's so I freeze and thaw the next feed day. Just what I do but all my snakes have no preference they eat live or f/t. But if yours only eats live then I would go with what everyone else has said. That is just what I do I am not saying i is wrong or right but just what I DO.

Give it to one of my greedy snakes who will happily take seconds!

LOL< I kill and feed it to one of the monitor lizads if no snake will eat it.
I think a little 5 gallon tank with water and food until he's ready to eat would be your best bet.

I have a very small screen top terrarium that I use for that purpose. I put a bowl of water,some dry dog food and a carrot in there with aspen substrate and keep either one rat or a few mice in there until the next week.
