Nice corn 
Most corn snakes will grow into constricting and will get better at it with time. |

Gorgeous snake ^^
My corns a lazy bugger.. And only constricts when he wants to. If you tug while he tries to grab it, he should constrict :) Saying that, mine once really couldn't be bothered to constrict, so we were just having a tug of war until I couldn't be bothered to tug any more and he got his easy meal :D |

Mine only constricts if I defrost the mouse on the radiator and he gets it served warm. If I defrost them at room temp he just swallows them straight away. |

Mines on a small/weaner mouse every 8 days now.. He's coming up to 10 months and I've just weighed him at 4oz (113g apparently) But they're some very old scales.. So might be a little off..
He is a little tubby, and so I'm giving him longer baths and more handling..
Are you feeding him just one pinky per feed? Try a fuzzy, and see if he copes; if there's a bulge and if he still roams for more ^^ |

might be a tad under weight but nothing to worry about,move his food up to 1fuzzy every 5 days then after a few feeds move up to 2 if theres not much of a bump and he will soon put it on |

agreed with matt. lately mystery has been striking and taking his food into a more constrictive manner. not totally there yet but hes definately showing the signs and he grows and his prey gets bigger |
