Try thawing the mouse in a zip lock bag so it doesn't get wet, and try feeding him in the enclosure. Just an idea.
X2, you may be stressing him out through the move.

I do the same, plus drying and heating the prey to 105-110 with hair dryer.
I do this with all my all my snakes eating f/t.

Cinder is doing FANTASTIC! He ate a live fuzzy last week. I wasn't thrilled it was live, but then today I thawed out a full grown mouse in a bag to keep it dry. And he ate it!! WOOO! I am so proud of him. His tank is also much warmer now because I installed a radiant heat panel, so he's a happy boy. So glad he ate thawed today, and a big one at that.
Right now he's sitting on his branch all grouchy thinking his all big and bad because he ate LOL, I am happy though. He's such a great snake. :) He just yawned

I also always feed in a separate box. He is laid back and doesn't stress easily, I can hold him whenever i want to. He's really chill. I just use aspen bedding so I'm scared he might eat a piece of it with the mouse. Cinder also requires that I make his mouse do "tricks" before he grabs it and since the door of his tank is on the side, it'd be hard for me to get into the right position to get the mouse to be fancy how he likes it. ;-)
