He's still quite new to his new home- I'm very glad you got him to eat for you, but that was pushing your luck, offering so soon after his arrival. Whether a snake is a hatchling or an older one, it's better to wait a week or two to feed, and especially it's best to wait for handling him so much. You don't want to handle for at least a day or 2 after they've eaten, so they don't regurgitate their meal. Regurgitation is a big set-back, because then you have to wait longer to feed them again, & it's not always without harm.
Glad to hear you got the housing fixed too. Keep checking for mites, just in case- they don't always show up right away.
Congrats on getting your first noodle!
