so it just begins eating. other snakes will still strike dead prey, and yet others wont look at it unless it moving, you have to jiggle it a bit.

I reckon a lot of this variation is due to the keepers habits rather than the snakes. I always jiggle the food for a snake and once it strikes stimulate a "struggle" by continuing to jiggle for a few seconds. I stopped doing this with one snake, as a sort of experiment, and after a couple of feeds he stopped constricting his prey. I now have him constricting again after reinstating the " Jiggle Continuance"
Hmmmmm.
