    Feed him in his tank. I think he's telling you as clearly as he's able that he wants to eat in his tank. If you've been feeding him in a separate box to avoid "cage aggression", you needn't. That's a myth. Sometimes, I feed my snake outside of his enclosure as a less stressful way to get him to relocate for enclosure cleanings or weighing. So, if you have a sound reason for feeding him outside his enclosure, trying a bigger box seems like a reasonable thing to do. Either way, don't be surprised if it takes him a little while to adjust. Even small changes can throw them off their game. Good luck and let us know how it goes.
