    Well it could be stress, you changed its home on the snake and it probably hasnt adjusted yet. A 40 gal tank is pretty big, how big is the snake? Somtimes this can stress them out. What are the temps in the enclosure coolside, warmside and ambient?

    I would give the snake some time to adjust, and try feeding it again in a week...
