Mice! They taste so nice!
If you can't hold the feeding tub so he can slither back into his viv, you can gently pick him up and put him in there. Just wait until the lump is @ 1/2 way down his body.

The Rattler!! Hey, I have a snake here on breeding loan that rattles so much I renamed her Buzztail!
When the meal stops moving, it's in the stomach. Safe to gently replace the snake in his home. Now you know you need to wait two or three days till you handle him again, right? After two days, if you are wanting to handle him, take a peak at him and just make sure there's either a poo in his viv or no feeding lump. Oh- and if there _isn't_ a poo in his viv- handling makes them go!! If you see a big lump near his vent- maybe hold off handling for a little while.
