Strange behavior when feeding

Alright so earlier today my retic finally ate a medium f/t rat for the first time since getting him a month ago. This is the first time that I have ever fed f/t to a snake so I just want to know if this is normal behavior or not - While I was dangling the rat from the tongs in front of him, he bit the rat but did not constrict. He pretty much just started swallowing it right from the tongs. Is this normal behavior when feeding f/t? I thought all snakes' instincts are to bite and then constrict their meal whether it's already dead or not.
