Actually I use a similar method with my hand feeding. Hold the snake by the neck, and with the other hand rub the pinky on its jaw until it gets annoyed enough to bite it. If it looks like it is going to keep the pinky I set it down and watch it eat. This works if he snake is already willing to eat but for some reason is just not getting the pink on its own, and needs a sort of boost.
