I would try to minimize handling for a bit after the move to give him time to settle into his new home.

For the light on the timer were you thinking of putting one in the enclosure, or doing a lamp outside the enclosure to light up that part of the basement? I would probably do the latter, maybe some efficient LED lighting in the area where you keep your snakes.
Thank you! He’s had a great feeding response ever since I got him. Dually noted on the handling suggestion.
The T10 already has LED lighting installed. For the record, I only ever use the LED lights on my BP enclosure when I’m cleaning the cage or when I’m getting him out. My inquiry was more about training him to recognize day time as a time when he’s not going to get fed and vice versa. But maybe that’s achieved by my Tap training.

As long as he's eaten in the new enclosure, shouldn't be an issue.

Hope that helps!
This helps a lot April! Did you ever feel like there was an issue with your BOA differentiating between feeding and handling time based on the lighting or is that a bit of misconception?
