Kind of like it is trying to fight back.
He will coil tighter and it should up his prey drive
Just kick back and watch him till he gets it down then put the top back on.
Give him some time to get use to you feeding him, it will all be good
Really good advice, the wiggling will kick the feed response in hard and he should finish just fine. You could try to feed again but if you get a non response def wait a week before trying again.

I got lucky with mine, she will eat a frozen without even doing a shake, just drop it in her cage and she goes for it, I don't have to trick her. She barely even coils on it anymore.
