I would stop handling until he’s feeding regularly to be honest .
I photo of the layout would be useful for us visual types ..
If you’ve got a few ‘suitably sized ‘ and ‘identical’ hides plus plenty of branches and fake foliage ... that’s s start ??
As regards feeding.. this is a Royal Python isn’t it ? As such I’d be feeding small mice .. never pinkies !!
Anyways my feeding way in a nutshell is to feed at night , dimly lit room , wait until he’s settled UNDER a hide .. have a hairdryer plugged in close to the viv / rub ... open the viv / rub then pick the mouse up in tongs and heat well with the hairdryer then INSTANTLY dangle the mouse in front of the hide entrance..
If there is any interest even a tongue flick then just kept reheating and offering ..
