don't worry if he doesn't eat tonight. sometimes snakes can get a little stressed with the moving of the house, and won't eat for a couple of weeks til they've settled in.
also, as tempting as it is, normally don't handle them until they've started eating solidly with you. cuz that can stress them too.
and i'm sure you know not to handle for a couple of days after feeding....
but if he feeds tonight you might have a very relaxed little dude. not like my childrens.... damn spawn of satan snake!!

Yeah i got him with the enclosure he is in right now the only difference is different zone. Also today is feed day for him (says the owner) So i will try to feed him tonight. Hes really calm and doesnt mind being picked up And yeah i understand to not hold them after feeding for digestion and other factors.

Dont stress him out by picking him up too much in the first week, limit it to when you have to, i know its hard not to fiddle, but its better for him he is probably tolerant right now because he doesnt have a clue on whats going on!
