Also, the rats are getting manicures from now on. One of the rear claws snagged on his bottom jaw on the way down, which was disconcerting for all involved. Luckily he seems to have gotten it resolved, much to his relief as well I'm sure.

Try waiting until the snake is settled under a hide then dangle the warm rat over the entrance.. some will only strike from within their hides .
Guess you can snip the feet off to make things easier ..
Years ago I had adopted a Royal who'd only eat thawed chicks but they were soooooo cute that I had to snip off their heads and feet so I was just having to feed balls of yellow fluff each time ( 3 at each meal) ..
