Re: great feeding response but...
Are you sure he was striking, and not trying to scare it away? You'd know by the neck, since they usually coil/twist immediately when striking, even if they miss... it's actually pretty funny when Delilah (who has terrible aim) does that, and constricts an invisible mouse.  Also, have you fed him live prey? Sometimes a live rat pup is best for shy or "bad aim" snakes, since they can really take their time getting in position. Rat pups don't move very fast, if at all, so the snakes are less intimidated by them. I'm not an expert or anything, but these are a few thoughts off the top of my head.
