You misunderstood completely. The snake was kept in a small home & fed where it lived, in the same small home. No moving a snake to another place for feeding, ever.
But that's not saying your current home for the snake is what is best (nor is it what was recommended)- it's probably much larger than the snake was used to, & in part, that's why it's not eating.
