The last few times I've fed my ~10 month old (300g) baby ball he strikes without hesitation but when he starts to make his way to the head he lets go of the prey and starts sniffing it. After a few minutes he goes back to his dinner like nothing happened. Anyone else has a snake that does this?

Only possible reason I can think of is that he smells the mice that goes to my other smaller one and get a little confused (he's on rat pups).
