There's a very good section in our Caresheet that addresses "Why Won't My Snake Eat?" Choose the Ball Python caresheet here: http://ball-pythons.net/forums/forum...107-CARESHEETS
It sounds like you're doing a lot of changes because you're fretting about his not eating, and you're not allowing him to get settled into his new home before you're changing things again.
Don't handle him - let him get settled, wait a couple of weeks to get good and hungry and then offer him food.
In the meantime, to help him settle - fill his enclosure with loosely crumpled newspaper. It will allow him to feel something touching him on all sides and will help him to feel more secure. You can then drop an appropriately sized prey item into the enclosure (newspaper and all), after he's had at LEAST a week to settle in and leave the room. Check back in 30 minutes and the prey item should be gone. You can then start to slowly "wean" him off the newspaper by removing a piece every few days.
