Rachel, everything Adam said is absolutely bang on and exactly the way we safely feed live to our snakes. Right now they are on f/t but only because it was cheaper to have frozen rats shipped from Texas than buy them locally here in Michigan live (how dumb is that!)

Putting the rat in a container near the snake prior to feeding is great advice! I credit that actually for getting our WC rescue who was not eating to eat consistently.

Adam feeds a lot of snakes a lot of live prey w/o incident. You can't argue with what works and I for one have followed his advice and found it worked beautifully with all 5 of our female balls.
