Melissa Kaplan has a site full of info on many different types of animals and information on captive care.
In general. Feeding the snake live won't hurt it. But the live mouse most definitely might hurt it. If the snake doesn't immediately take the mouse then the mouse could attack the snake and cause serious injury.
Go to this link and see what feeding live can get your snake.
