I find, quite often, that full blown force-feeding isn't necessary.....Sometimes if you simply press the food (best with a pinky) quite firmly against the snakes snout and prevent him from turning his head away, he will just open up and start swallowing! Assist-feeding rather than force-feeding! Try it!
