Tough call. Personally, I'd let it starve before I held a gaboon by the head, but I could see someone else making a different decision.
I certainly would try tubing and then tube-feeding the snake first, but we don't know that he hasn't already tried that (probably not).

I think the guy was to rough. I have never had to shove so hard to get the rat started. Also, the knuckle on my left hand was burning as I was waiting for the guy to get scratched by a fang. But that's my opinion. Forcing a snake to eat is a disturbing thing to see.

The handling did seem much rougher than it needed to be for force feeding.
The rodent was way too large to try to force down a sick snake. Several smaller rodents would have been better.
And, as Larry stated, other things like tubing could have been used to help restrain the movement of the snake.
