If you've only had him for 5 days, the constant movement/exploring could also be a sign of stress. Around here we generally recommend leaving new snakes alone for at least 3 or 4 successful feedings-- i.e., for three or four weeks or longer depending on how often he gets fed. You may want to consider just leaving him alone for a few weeks and only handling him when you need to and see if that helps him with both his feeding habits and his ability to chill out with you.
