Young greens are very shy snakes and some are more stress prone than others. The combination of the change in hide box, water bowl removal, and frequent handling, could have stressed this individual male to the point that it would go off feed. You have two options at this point. One would be to do nothing except cut back on the handling and when he settles into the new environment and gets hungry enough, he will start feeding. This could take anywhere from another week to a month or two. The other would be to put the original hide box back in for a few weeks, leave the water in, and only handle him once or twice a week until he starts feeding again, and then make other future changes to his environment when he is a little older. The water won’t be an issue as long as it is kept clean and he doesn’t start showing any skin issues. Please keep us posted as to how he does. Thanks,

Kelly
