Stop staring at it and EAT it!

So I tried to feed my bp tonight, and all she did was stare at the food. She assumed the "S" posture, like she was GOING to strike, but didn't. So then I got thinking that it may be a defensive posture, but I'm not sure. I wiggled the mouse a bit, then just left it to see if she would eat it, but she didn't. Is this an experience other bp keepers have had? Do you have any "tricks" to make a staring snake strike. When she was staring she also wasn't flicking her tongue, but when I moved the mouse around a bit she flicked. Any ideas?

Thanks

Dave
