You should be leaving him alone to settle in...you've only had him for a week...you are lucky he ate for you, but you are at fault for him striking...he should be allowed
to settle in for as long as it takes for him to eat 3 times at normal intervals. You don't need a weight on him this minute...just be patient, he's scared! He's in a new
place & there's this giant (you!) hanging around too... and instead of worrying about HIM, all you can worry about is being "snake shy" & "not getting bit"?
P.S. If you are so afraid of a snake bite that you might drop the container he's in, what are you doing with a pet snake?
P.S. it’s my first snake. I think most people don’t want to get bitten and I wasn’t actually going to drop the container. It was just surprising.
