They like security and having the glass blacked out with construction paper, blankets cardboard or anything so you have a small viewing area into the enclosure will make him feel more secure. Also please please please if your mom doesn't like snakes make sure you lock the top (I'm assuming it has a screen top) so he can't escape. I'm very sure she doesn't need or want company while in the bathroom lol. I also second the switching to rats. They have a bit more meat on them and will help him if he needs more nutrition. Also for the first week don't mess with him except to check him and give fresh water. Let him get settled in and calmed down after the move. Good luck with him and post some pics.
Thank you for the advice. I'd like to get him as quickly as possible because the owner said he's getting ready to go into shed. So I'd like to get the enclosure at the proper heat and humidity set up before that occurs. Other than that I saw a video of him eating. From the video he looked quite healthy. He was able to strike and constrict the mouse very quickly.
