Well that explains a little mystery we always wondered about Adam! We thought it might be how you are describing it but were never sure.

After we switched all the snakes over to live feeding Mike and I noticed how much faster and more efficient they were all acting. They showed a distinctly longer time in holding the prey in their coils when eating f/t compared to live. With live it was bam! hit the prey, coil it good then eat it up! On f/t they seemed to hold their prey much longer as if waiting for it to show some sign of life or more importantly no life, before they felt they could settle in to eat.
