I have moved adults into my collection and one in particular stopped eating after the move for 9 months. Moving stress he is now eating regularly but for 4-5 weeks around breeding season. It could just be moving stress. Messing about with the animal may just make it worse offer the same food as the breeder (f/t p/k live rat or mouse or...) and maybe a bit smaller than a normal meal and just wait it out. A hungry snake will eat as long as it is adjusted to its surroundings small snakes adjust quickly but larger ones often take some time. VPI actually wrote about this in their book.
