^^ agreed.
However, I do dangle mine with my smaller snakes (average strike is full on face grab) and my snakes control the whole situation.
My largest rat is never over 70 grams at the moment.
I use a screw driver to possibly block the rat from biting (if it were able to).
I watch every snake until the rat is passed (not breathing).
Never feed your snake an adult live rat.
A well fed rat is also not as aggressive
