As others have said, just shake the mouse a bit and maybe make the mouse 'struggle' after it's constricted. Both my snakes strike and constrict every time.

casper used to constrict but doesnt anymore (mind you, he wont eat either...) and mushu just picks it up and eats it. Shes quite new tho so I dont try to get her to strike yet till im confident shes had a couple of good feeds.

the snake is fine, they wont constrict dead prey coz there is no point... what you could do it try shaking the mouse a bit when he/she has struck to simulate struggling... this is a link to my mexi black doing that...

my 16 year old corn will constrict but will gently take the mouse from the tongs first, one of my youngsters didn't strike and constrict till he was 18 months old

My Alice is over 4ft so I guess over 3 years old. She never strikes or constricts

Some do, some don't I suppose.
