Does ball python pick up dead prey on their own?

Mine are usually strikers, on the occasion they don't strike I'll leave it in over night and about 70% of the time they've eaten it. I think sometimes they just want the light off and not to be disturbed in situations like that.

The only time I have done that with a BP is when they wouldn't eat when I presented. I left it to see if they would take it later and none of mine did.
