as anyone here would suggest & what was suggested to me was...read the care sheet. that'll give you an idea as to what you can do as far as caging. from what i've learned so far...the setup is the most important thing cuz its where the snake is gonna be spending most of its time. if its eating for you after only 3 days thats a good thing but then again it was obviously very hungry...

You will be safe to move the snake from his enclosure straight to a holding tub, clean, then move him straight back. Don't hold him no longer than needed for the transfer. Once back in his enclosure leave him alone for about a week. As mentioned above, look over the care sheet here on the forum for all the little things you will need to know to provide a proper setup. Good luck.
