That's why if I ever have to feed live to help get my BP start feeding again I stand there and mean mug the rat until my snake snatches it up. I don't want the rat coming to the snake I want the snake going to the rat. Since 99% of the time I'm feeding F/T small rats when I have to offer a live in never takes him more then 2 or 3 minutes for him to tag it. I agree with the suggestions pertaining to bringing the snake to the vet if you don't have experience with this sort of thing. That would give the snake the best fighting chance. If the snake is as mangled as you say and you don't have hands on experience with this sort of thing your probably going to lose your BP if you can't find a good herp vet or an experienced keeper nearby to lend you assistance. :/
