Is it abnormal to not strike?

Is it abnormal to not strike?

I assume I am being paranoid, but I can’t help it.

Eve is really good about eating so far, which is a relief, but I am confused that she doesn’t strike.

When given a mouse, she sniffs the whole body, takes it in her mouth slowly, and once she has a good grip she will lightly tug it from me to eat.

I have only had snakes that strike food so I’m just a little confused and want to make sure this isn’t a flag or something?

*Edit*

In case anyone is wondering why she’s curled up like this, it’s because my one roomie is loud, tends to fling his hands about when talking, and was a little too excited to hold her.

He think she “hates” him 🙄

She was fine after she sat on me for a couple minutes.
