Are you presenting live prey or frozen thawed? I have had that problem with frozen thawed. What I have done was to present the prey a second time and after the snake has struck and started constricting, I grab on to the prey's back foot with a pair of tongs and shake it a little to simulate it still being alive.

If that is not your situation maybe you are presenting to large of a prey item and your snake is intimidated by the size when he starts searching for the head to begin feeding. In that case, maybe you could try presenting smaller prey and see how that goes.
