I've heard it suggested multiple times, and it makes sense to me.

I'm trying to avoid having to split the head. It would make such a mess once he constricted and I don't want him to develop the habit of only eating them like that.
I didn't mean split the head open, just with the tongs grab it by the scruff of it's neck and only hold it by the skin. It's like when you pick up furry animals by the scruff of their neck (I do it to my cat all the time).
