First off, he's gorgeous!! One thing you might want to try with the F/T is shaking and lightly tugging on the rat after he's coiled. Simulate a struggle that a live rat may give. I've found this works sometimes.

Thank you! He's my first lol but I really wanna add more eventually I can certainly try that, I would just be nervous about spooking him.

Once they have a good coil they normally don't let go. I've switched several live eaters onto F/T using that trick. Eventually I stopped the shaking and they got the point lol.
For a first BP you picked a beauty!

I've also wondered about F/T since my snakes all eat pre killed( Ive never fed them live rats larger than smalls) because they seem so used to the freshness of a rat. But I've heard they really don't see a difference especially when they are actually hungry.

Yea but don't over wiggle and have it bump them, because they'll just pull back. Do it in front of them or sometimes just lay the tip of the head on them and slowly drag it across so they see it. Once they hit it do a slight wiggle to make him constrict more and you should be okay. If that doesn't work, just put it in front of him and let him in peace and see if he eats it then.]
Very nice snake btw.

He's very pretty! I think with handling they calm down, but then again I have young and old snakes that will lay in your hand and none have been handled very much. Maybe it depends on the snake as well, I don't really know.
