My Alice is over 4ft so I guess over 3 years old. She never strikes or constricts 
Some do, some don't I suppose. |

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...

| 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. |

| 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. |
