This is going to sound terrible, but you can slam them on something, which should kill them instantly. To stun and not kill, maybe putting the rat in a dark bag and shaking him a little or something might help. That way, I think, it should be disoriented enough for the snake to get him without any trouble. I just thought of that randomly... don't take my word for it.
