I once fed my 6 year old ball python this one rat who after he was wrapped up he had his teeth sunken deep into his neck, i tried to get him off by he had him wrapped so tight i couldt, i thought for sure there was gonna be serious damage, but after he let him go, that rats teeth never even got to pierce the skin.

You gotta remember that snakes skin are very resilient and can take a beating. They dont eat frozen thawed or "knocked out" mice in the wild....

honestly my only concern with feeding life is if they catch an eye, but thats a risk im willing to take because another thing is, kinda disgusting have a freezer full of dead mice, just the thought of that makes me irk
If you keep frozen mice in a freezer , they're always kept apart from normal food stuff and either kept in sealed plastic boxes or vacuum packed plastic bags .
Some will have a separate little fridge .
