What I do is whack it just enough to knock the prey out in a lunch bag and then put it in the feeding cage I use. I do have to warn you that more often than not they will regain awareness quicker than you think so always be ready to remove it if your snake isn't hungry. I learned how hard to whack em by trial and error after killing a few. Might just be luck but I am pretty consistant with it. Now if you mean paralyze it perm, I can't help you. I would think that would be more trouble than possible gain and then what would you do with it if your snake doesn't take it the first time? I have a rat snake that will eat anything so if I kill my BP's dinner I know the other snake will take it. My BP is only taking live and what I call live KO'd.
