It's ok to feed live. I had the same thought about them being raised on frozen and not knowing how to kill properly. You have to think tho, is a few years of eating F/T guna wipe out millions of years of instinct? No.
Here's what I would try. Feed a live mouse or rat of whatever size he is eating. DO NOT JUST WALK AWAY. Watch and see what happens. This way you can intervene if need be and you can watch his actions. My guess is when you toss that live in there, you will see him perk up and track it around his house. Then strike like you've never seen him strike before. He will constrict for a couple of minutes. It's kinda scares how little time it takes. Then you will be happy that he's got some food in him.
If he doesn't eat the mouse or rat, you can keep it for a week then try again or I'm sure there are some herp people around you that would take an extra meal off your hands for ya.
That's my suggestion. Up to you to take it or leave it.
