Just in my own opinion I'd say if she's looking for it give it to her.

Unfortunately, this is a recipe for an obese snake. In the wild, they're opportunistic eaters - they'll eat everything they find, as they don't know when they'll successfully hunt for their next meal. They don't change this behaviour in captivity as they don't know that their next meal is guaranteed.
Most Corn Snakes will exhibit feeding/hunting behaviour for much of their active time. If you feed on demand, they'll eat everything you give them - sometimes to the point of regurging (which is a health risk in itself). Harden your heart and stick to the schedule. No matter how "hungry" they act, remember that they aren't (as long as you have a sensible feeding regime). They're just acting on an instinct that's not appropriate in captivity.
