Its not the state of the rodent when eaten that can cause problems but improper temperatures available for the snake to bask on, ensuring temps in its body are hot enough to allow proper digestion. Thus bacteria continue to thrive in the prey item and cause bloating in the snake.

Proper temperatures allow for proper digestion which prevent gas build up...or at least that is how I understand it.
