I had a buddy whose ball python would only eat live. His method was to hold the rat by the tail and flip it, hitting the rat's head on a counter edge. Worked like a charm for a long time. Then one day, as he was flipping the rat by the tail, the tail CAME OFF and the VERY ALIVE rat was running all over his house pumping huge amounts of blood everywhere. After hearin' that story I became a frozen/thawed convert for life.
