Edit: Normal handling is usually fine after 48 hours but moving into a new house with all the vibrations, being jostled around, etc is a horse of a different color. I would prefer to be safer than sorry. Regurgitations are tolling on a snakes digestive system.

Personally I agree with Rich but then I'm known to always go a bit conservative on this stuff. I'd far rather let the snake have that week to settle in after the bouncing around of a move and then do a feeding than take even the smallest risk of a regurge from stress. I'd do his regular feed on Monday, move that weekend and then leave the snake completely alone for a week then feed that next Monday - but that's just me and my ways.

Remember these snakes are ambush predators, designed by nature to deal with irregular mealtimes. Missing a week is no major deal to them at all.
