    You could try but it might be better to wait a week. Moving and getting a new home and cause a ball to stress. Stress often times keeps them from eating. If it were me I would leave the snake alone for a few days and work on getting the tub and equipment installed and dialed in. After that I would wait a few more days and then try to feed.

    I guess I will try as my neigbour has got a BP too which only eats mice, he also breeds them.
    So if he does not want to eat yet he'll just feed the mouse to his BP or other snakes.

    Bought a tub today, first thing tomorrow will be drilling some holes in it and buying straps or clamps to hold the lid in place.
    Then wednesday I will try to feed him, buy a tstat and the thermometer and hygrometer. Place an uth under the new tub together with the tstat and meters.

    Thanks for the help :)

    I would drill holes only after you find out what the humidity in the tub will be. If the humidity is fine without them, you don't need to drill them.

    Well I do need some to give him fresh air, right?

    Start with only a couple at a time. Give it a few hours between adding holes to see where the humidity rest.
