    Not the tube feeding this can actually be so stressful that it can make it worse, moving however is an old technic use by old timers, some will go as far as shipping their snake to someone else to get it back on track.

    You often do not have to go to that extent a simple 30 min car trip and or husbandry change will often do the trick, so will feeding more conservatively especially for a male to prevent long term fast.

    A snake can go well over a year without food and tube feeding is not something I would recommend or do unless the snake is dying.
