Putting food for rat in snake enclosure to distract them?

[djstarfall]

Is it a good idea to maybe put a few pieces of dog food in the snake tub tgat only eat live so the rats get distracted during feeding time?

I used to do that. I think its a great idea when it comes to feeding live. Its especially useful when your snake is in blue and cant really see or sense the position of the rat. Having the rat stay put would be beneficial instead of it running around the enclosure
