Hi,


That sounds more like a bluff "go away" strike rather than a feeding strike.

Most people recomend not handling them untill they are eating fine as anything that can cause stres isn't really what you want to be doing untill he's settled and eating regularly.

That said moving him into a new tank will also stress him a little till he adjusts so I would probably try feeding him before and if he eats leave him where he is and undisturbed for at least two days. If he doesn't eat I would move him into the new tank ( as long as temps and humidity are ok of course) and not disturb him for at least a week.

Then try feeding in the tank.

Some snakes are a little slower to settle in and can be set back with changes so don't be too disapointed if he seems a little freaked in his new tank at first - just give him the time to settle in and decide its nice and safe.
