your snake knows that the food is prekilled. If for any reason you ever had to feed it live mice, you would most likely see it revert to a more violent, more primal reaction. It would strike hard and constrict quickly.

I recently had to get rid of a rat fuzzy. I gave it to my Gopher and suddenly he became a constrictor.
