My BP (also named Noodle lol) does this too. Here he is hoping for seconds immediately after swallowing a mouse:

Normally to feed my retic I let him out to wander and get some exercise on the enclosure stack. When he isn't looking I put his food in his enclosure. Typically he will track down the smell and find his food waiting for him.

It had been 3 weeks since his last feeding and he was pacing by the door of his enclosure. I kept pulling him out and putting him on the enclosure stack and he kept putting himself back into his enclosure hoping suddenly find food in there.
