"spot on", I love that phrase. We should adopt that in the states. I have a couple English clients that say that. It always makes me smile. As far as your other comments, I would agree. You have only had him a short period of time. I've noticed that aquarium kept snakes take longer to settle in than tub kept snakes. That has just been my experience and by no means a definite. You definetly should not refreeze and reuse that f/t.
