The association of my hand and food makes sense as I've been feeding him with those long tweezers but obviously putting my hand in also.
thanks for the help!

Ah, It'll be the stress of the move then, I'd personally leave him for a week or so to settle in, if he's already on edge with the move you don't really want to be stressing him out more than what he is. Make sure there's plenty of hiding places as this will also help him settle. After a week or so he should hopefully be a little calmer at which point you can start handling him again.
To feed him outside the viv, as 'Evolution' stated you can place him in a plastic container with the food item although I don't bother with the container and let the snake eat out infront of me, either method is fine.
