I posted last week saying Stella Wouldnt Strike.

Well this morning i persevered and kept making her chase the pinkie around, and she finally struck.

It was pretty half hearted and no real speed there, more like a snatch, and she didnt constrict, she sort of shook it, lol.

But shes getting there :-)

I wouldn't worry if your snake does or doesn't strike/constrict so long as they're eating.
You could view it as your snake being very energy efficient and not wasting energy constricting something which it doesn't need to.

A lot of snakes don't strike or consrict until they're a bit older.
Some don't constrict at all.

My Dimika didn't until I began to shake the prey quite a bit (you can see pictures of her latest striking attack on here) Congrats.
