1) Let rat sit near the cage to prescent (not necessary but helpful).

3) If rat not attacked in 30 mins, take rat out. And try again later (a day or two).

Am I missing anything?
I didn't catch when you said you got the snake...but make sure it has been at least a week since you got it...this way it can have gotten used to its new home before having to deal with eating.

Everything looks good above except #3...if he doesn't eat wait at least 1 week before trying again.
