As mentioned already, don't handle a snake after you have fed it, leave it alone completely. As it is a new snake, leave it alone anyway for a few weeks to settle in and get over the stress of a move. I have bought snakes, complete with their enclosure and even with that familiar enclosure the stress of a move still unsettles them.

When you do get around to handling after this, wash your hands thoroughly, minimise distractions and be slow with your movements, supporting all of the snake.

Let the snake get to know you rather than prioritising you getting to know the snake.
