If you move its food like dangle it from the tail in front of him then she should strike and constrict on it  |

I do that and they still dont strike or constrict. I am going to make it harder for them to try and get them to do it. |

| Try not letting go too soon. Matilda used to do the grab and retreat thing all the time until I didn't let go one day. If s/he thinks that it's still alive once s/he's bitten down then s/he should start throwing a few coils around it. |

In order to get Monty to constrict he has to have warm food. If I defrost a mouse in air he just bites, retreats back and then swallows it. If I defrost it on a radiator he constricts it.
I've never done the dangly thing, or tried to make the food move before he strikes. |
