It varies from snake to snake (see Ed's post)

Two types of snakes
1: The chinese buffet, any time any where as much as you can spare
2: The teen girl, you know they eat you just never see it cause they wait till no one is looking.
bingo!

my normal doesn't strike and coil as aggressively, she just sniffs for it then bites it o_O.. takes her a litle bit longer to consume, but she gets the job done

My normal does this aswell with F/T food. However my friend had her Leo geck on her hand and she was close to the cage and my snake stuck at the gecko, so I'm thinking that she would react completely differently if she were introduced to live food.

Re: Do your balls eat when they're blue? (Pre-shed)
My big girl cleared up yesterday, I woke up this morning expecting a shed, but nope, maybe tonight... Anyways, she refused food a few days before she turned blue. Now I'm banging around the cage several times a day refilling the water bowl, misting, etc, to keep the humidity high, and she has been poking her head out from her hide, like she's expecting to be fed. 
Has anybody else had a similar experience, where they won't eat while they're blue but they'll eat when they clear up?
