I have a Blanchard's milk that does the same thing (grabs and constricts, but won't eat)... the only way it will eat is if I hold the mouse just right so that when he strikes he ends up with the mouse's head in his mouth. So sometimes it's just a matter of trying things and experimenting to find what is going to work for a particular animal. Don't expect them to all operate the same way.
