The other idea that I have had (but never tried) is that you could put the rat in a pillowcase and spin it around a bunch. Now you have a disoriented rat (but still live). That would be an easy way to do the switch. Do a few disoriented rats then when your snake is a pro at eating those you could stop spinning em. Again this has not been tested by myself but it seems like a good idea to me.
Sounds like a perfect way to gaurantee your prey item is frightened and more likely to bite to me.
