im fairly new to BP husbandry aswell ... and after seeing some pics of half eaten snakes ... i will never ever leave a live prey in a cage unsupervised ... and also to note that u should feed ur live mice/rats cat or dog food, it contain a food colouring agent that is poisonous ... i forget the name of it but im sure someone else does.
You're learning already. Good. -Smiles.- Feeding live can be safe and enjoyable(I enjoy seeing the feeding response very much) as well as feeding frozen/thawed. You just have to be THERE to observe your snake. Plain and simple.
