    When offering the rat in front of the hide, definitely just hold it steady there at the opening with the tongs, even if it takes a few minutes. That has the higher chance of getting him to strike at the rat, since your hand naturally provides subtle movements. Don't wiggle it too hard or swing it around, which I see a lot of people do but does not look realistic.

    Heat the rat with a blowdryer before offering, particularly the head, and make sure the rat is dry.
    All the above. ^^

    Plus ensure the snake is settled under a hide then offer in dim/low lighting so the heat pits can sense the the heat signal of the warmed up mouse /rat ( hairdryer).
