I agree its more then likely the move, it can take a while for them to get used to it, It takes our king snake about 3weeks to settle before Oh can handle her (she hates me so i dont handle her lol she defo a daddys girl if snakes can be!)

we use polystryne boxes that food or live animals are put in for ours because you dont often find a plastic pne big enough for a 7-8foot boa constrictor lol

I love the idea of hand holding feeding tho sounds like its very "peaceful" (if you know what i mean) way to feed them
