My first recomendation would be to feed the female as much as she will eat befor introducing the male. Do this the day you want to breed but give her a few hours to get out of feeding mode and get all calm and relaxed. If she is stuffed she should not want to eat him. But it may be a good idea to keep your hand infront of her head and between his head and hers untill you know how she will respond, just in case. Using your hand as a blinder may get you bit but better that having your male eaten.

This is what I do with my king snakes.

Hope this helps, best of luck,
